Instructions for running successfully

• Create a presentation with images like the below on, one per slide or print off.

• Showing one at a time, ask each person to think of one way of working, process, interaction, build artefact etc from the last sprint which matches:

  • Iron Throne - what were our goals, what were we looking to achieve, and who was this for? e.g customers, internal people?

  • White Walkers - what were the challenges we faced?

  • Dragons - how did we overcome these challenges, what new ways of working did we adopt, what new tools, what are we proud of doing differently?

• Then go around the room and ask for each person's response

• Encourage discussion and note down any actions which can be taken
