The Challenge: Building Pink Riverside
Our client recently purchased a piece of land to build a completely new city: Pink Riverside. Everything still needs to be done: roads, houses, public facilities, and even a life-size statue of the client! Future residents are eagerly waiting to begin their lives. Will your team manage to get the city ready in time?
An Agile Scrum Game
City Construct is an immersive business simulation based on Agile Scrum. The strength of this game lies in its ability to cover all key elements of Agile ways of working. From Daily Stand-ups to Retrospectives, every aspect of the Scrum framework comes into play to ultimately satisfy the customer.
Collaboration and Sprint Planning
In this simulation, the client acts as the new mayor and has appointed a Product Owner to ensure the city is built according to their wishes. However, nothing is set in stone! Teams must collaborate with the Product Owner to create a Product Backlog and a shared Definition of Done. You will plan your own sprints, divide the work, and maintain strong communication throughout the project.
Iterative Growth and Evaluation
The game is played with multiple teams who must collaborate, often remotely. Each round ends with a Retrospective, after which improvements are immediately carried through to the next round. At the end of the project, once the city is built, a full project evaluation takes place to summarize all lessons learned.
