● All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better

Ralph Waldo Emerson

How are we doing today ?

Can we eat same food all the time?

Would you like to take the place of these sculptures?

● if we can’t behave same all the time at home, in personal relation ship,can’t eat same food all the time.Then this should be applicable to our day to day workings too

Being monotonous is not human nature

Agile Way of Working

We work in with strict timelines

Recap: SCRUM based on Sprints

Sprint Cycles are monotonous working environment

● Post few Sprints (5+,10+)..everyones situations will look like this

Can Sprint Cycles be made interesting ?

But How ?

Some ideas worth Considering ?

How about Sprint Without Planning?

Just like any other game team

Or like these men in the movie 300

Oh ok… But how will I Plan for SPRINT without Planning?

● NO NO Dont plan… Any planning will kill the very idea of Sprint without Planning

Ask Scrum Teams to

● Pick the work items from Product backlog based on own their choice

● We’ll come to know what they did only on demos

My experiment was Successful

Is there more ?

How about THEME Based Working Breaks?

THEMED Working Break: Test

Many other THEMED Working Break :

● Hackathon● Architecture Runway● Overall Design● Ways of working● and so on

My experiment was AGAIN Successful
