Agile Clock
Agile Clock
by Carrin Robertson for SessionLab.
A proper understanding of Agile Manifesto is VERY important for the introduction of Scrum. The twelve agile principles are less abstract than the four values of the Agile manifesto and can be easily understood.
The game is based on an exercise Pocket-sized Principles.

To learn and understand the Agile Principals. By visualizing what each principle means, and being able to explain them briefly in a few words, teams are well-positioned to apply the principles to projects.

- Divide participants into groups of no more than 5 people. This is the most comfortable group size for any discussion or problem-solving. Every team is given a copy of 12 principles of Agile Manifesto.
- The challenge – within 20 minutes each team needs to express the essence of each principle in three words or less. Words should be written on stickers and hung within the circle on a flip chart. Thus, we create the clock. Each number on the clock corresponds to a specific principle of Agile Manifesto. Also, you can ask to choose the most appropriate icon from the Bikablo Icons set for each principle and pin it to the flip-chart too. If the set is not available, then ask to visualize the principle by drawing
- Very soon each team has a smart Agile Clock. Give 3-5 minutes to wander around the room and examine the clocks made by other groups. Then it makes sense to go through the principles and briefly discuss them.
Visualization and metaphors always provide excellent results in teaching. People quickly come to a common understanding of Agile Manifesto principles and remember them for a long time.
