"Learning by doing" is what makes games an effective training tool. This workshop builds on the same principle. We will play a variety of games to teach Agile and Lean practices so that participants can learn through playing. People new to Agile will learn concepts in a deep way through the games. Experienced practitioners or coaches will get new insights playing the games and learn how to use them for their own training.
