Manifesto for Agile Software Development
Agile Game Design & Play
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
•Keep it simple: make sure the game is simple to play, and don’t get caught up in the game mechanics or use complicated, expensive game pieces.•Provide ample time for players to interact and learn together.
Working software over comprehensive documentation
•Provide simple player directions — concise, clear, and (ideally) not in writing.
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
•Require teamwork to reach the objective.•Include chances for the players to reflect and debrief.
Responding to change over following a plan
•Permit adaptations and iterations to the game.•Include time to play the game again so that players can apply their adaptations.•Encourage teams to consider how they can adapt their learning to their work.

Principles of Agile Software Agile Game Design & Play
Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software
•Be sure your game answers the question, “Why would I want to spend time playing it?”•Include kinesthetic activities (grouping, sorting, drawing, cutting) that use tactile elements (game pieces, boards, cards, balloons)
Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
•Initially deliver a lightweight version of the game. Get player feedback, and improve the game as needed.•Keep your game materials simple and cheap.
Simplicity – the art of maximizing the amount of work not done – is essential.
•Incorporate a few low-fidelity, inexpensive, readily available game components.•Use a simple metaphor or symbol to help players see the problem or need.

Using games to understand requirement gathering
Game: 99 test balloons
Goal: Shows the importance of defining acceptance criteria prior to build
Activity: Teams need to build as many balloons as possible that meet your acceptance criteria.
So what happens?
24
Using games to solve problems
Game: Buy a Feature
Goal: Prioritise features
Activity:
Create a list of potential features and provide each with a price.
Price can vary based on development costs, customer value or something else
