Online Agile game night

This event has already taken place. Have a look at our upcoming events to see what’s coming up.

Welcome to the next Agile Reading meetup!

Our mission is to grow the Agile community in Reading and share new trends and techniques in the Agile world.

Join us for this month’s Agile Reading meetup where we will be running our first Agile games session.

Games are one of the best ways to learn deeply about a topic. Applying games into everyday work can encourage creativity, productivity and a growth mindset.

During this session, we’re running a short icebreaker game and a longer Product Owner team game - each with a particular Agile learning objective. To win the Product Owner game, players need to maximise the value of their backlog. Carefully build your product portfolio strategy and watch the success roll in!

The games will use a set of online tools to help us interact with each other while online.
