This was originally posted on LinkedIn. A Scrum training learning enhancement tool I endorse.

Learning is my thing. It just is. I enjoy concept application as much as the experience of expanding the boundaries of my understanding.

What about you?

My interest leads me to continually improve my skills as a Scrum Master. As a result, playing games are complimentary to my willingness to learn. 

I was introduced to a tool that may enable Scrum teams to learn by practice.

Scrum training – online scrum card game

Tim, the creator of Scrum Card Game – Scrum Simulation. Simple and realistic. He walked me, James, Sweta, and Valerie through the most recent updates to the simulation. 

We learned the “why” behind its creation and had Tim as our coach while going through the Sprints.

I’m not going to spoil the enjoyment you might receive from trying this experience out, so there are no details provided in the remainder of this post!

I will give you a peak behind the curtain with this video. 

Tim shared that the online version of the experience came from community feedback. He noted that the online game is based on iterative development of the original, physical product that he used in training classes.

As the tool evolved, it was met with more positive feedback, going from a PDF file to a physical card deck to the online version of the same, but better!
