Getting the job done - a game of navigating impediments
"Getting the job done" is a super fun agile game designed to simulate applying Scrum in an environment with various impediments (Just like the real world). There are various levels of impediments baked into this simulation, some are trivial and some are systemic impediments.
The goal is for the attendees to learn in an agile environment it is not enough just to focus on doing their job and they need to actively identify and remove impediments.

This conference is about learning and sharing from our colleagues. Over the years we have come to value the following things;
- Interactive sessions over presentations
- Specific tools and techniques over general frameworks
- Learning from mistakes and failures over sharing sanitised success stories
- Diversity of content over following industry best practices
- Evidence based approaches over novel ideas
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
