This makes it harder than anyone expects. The gap between \"this is ieasy\" and \"it was actually hard\" is the lesson.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it when stakeholders wonder why forecasts keep missing, or when you want to shift the conversation from \"why can't you estimate better?\" to \"how can we change the way we work to make more accurate forecasts?\"\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🌐 \u003cb\u003eOnline \u003c/b\u003eA ready-to-run digital version of this game is available at https://facilitatorkit.co/connect-the-dots-online. The facilitator creates a session and shares a link — participants join in their browser and play on their own device. The game generates burndown charts automatically after each round.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cscript async src=\"https://app.sessionlab.com/assets/widgets.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"\u003e\u003c/script\u003e\n"}
