The Sailboat Exercise (3 minutes, EN)
Noodles & Doodles – Exercise to help you, and your development team, take a step back and look at the entire project from a distance. In the Sailboat exercise, we want to identify anything that can push us forward, slow us down or sink the entire project.
To Work
- Place the dialogue worksheet on a table for the team members to sit around. In step 1 lay the manual for working with a worksheet. Make sure each team member has a marker.
- Read the manual working with a worksheet if you have not worked with a worksheet before.
- Go through the worksheet step by step, with the team members taking turns reading and facilitating a question.
