Speed Boat Game for Process Improvement

I use innovation games for Agile development and product management. The game Speed Boat can be used for development retrospectives and product feedback.

Now I see many companies are using Speed Boat for process improvement. People often make connections and say things they normally wouldn't because the game evokes a creative response and sense of playfulness.

Love this description of an anchor (what slows the boat down).

"Yeah, I’ll tell you what I mean. This company is just like every other company. You think that all developers like Diet Coke. Well, not all of us like Diet Coke. I like Pepsi, and the lack of Pepsi is slowing me down. You want me to work faster and happier? Get me Pepsi!"

You'll have to read the article for the full story.

Love the description. We can use the same concept for project management as well. I am taking PMP certification training from Pmstudy at the moment and will share this game with others. http://www.PMstudy.com .
