This is the deck from the Agile Games Summit. I also included the humorous board game view of 'Waterfall' in this deck as well.
![Exercise Time
In breakout rooms, we will see what game mechanics you think
apply or can apply to some typical Agile development events and
practices; heres a list of mechanics, but feel free to describe your
own (a bit longer than your handout)

Trello board breakout rooms
https://trello.com/b/yEofXhSO/agc-agile-dev
Try and describe the items in terms of game mechanics/ game play.
The handout is a helper, Video Game Mechanics, Role-Playing
Mechanics, or even making up a mechanic if it is clear to you is OK.
(Ill show a stand-up as an example momentarily.) [8 min or return to
room early if you finish early.]

![Exercise Time
You will go back into your breakouts (this will take a little longer
since Ill be placing you in the same groups)
Use the Trello board breakout rooms of 5
https://trello.com/b/yEofXhSO/agc-agile-dev
Try and take 1-2 key mechanics and see how you might give a
reward via scoring to the item. Be sure to think of possible
detrimental side effects. Record this into the description of the card.
[5 min or return to room early if you finish early.]
