2. What this game is about
• We simulate the scenario of organizational transformation
• We group into teams
• Some teams will be Agile, while some will still be in waterfall
• Like all organizations, our organization will also have Shared Services

3. We get into teams…
• We need
• An architecture group or committee
• Team managers
• A Quality and audits group
• Leaders (CxO) of the organizations
• Time keepers and rule enforcers
• Then, there are teams

4. The goal
• The plastic ball represents your product
• You need to carry it to the delivery area, and make a delivery
• Remember
• You need approval from the Architects group
• The audits team will see your plan and then give a go-ahead
• The “Time keepers and rule enforcers” will ensure that you do not break any of the rules
of the game
• Your managers will guide you

5. The task
• Transport the ball from your team room to the other end of the hall
• Remember
• You don’t get to touch the ball, unless it falls down
• You don’t get to touch the band, on which the ball rests
• Through the entire process, you get to use only one hand
• If the ball is dropped, you go back and start from step 1

6. Learnings….
