Candy Box Agile Anti-Patterns 🧁
About
The Candy Box Agile Anti-Patterns template is a fun, interactive way to identify and discuss issues (anti-patterns) in the agile process. Each "candy" represents a question or prompt to help the team explore potential problem areas. This approach keeps the retrospectives engaging and light-hearted while still driving valuable insights.
How to Use the Template
Set Up the Candy Prompts:
Each candy has a question related to an agile anti-pattern.
Questions could focus on topics like communication issues, scope creep, or sprint planning challenges.
Example questions:
"What issues kept coming up this sprint?"
"How do we handle last-minute scope changes?"
"What misunderstandings did we face as a team?"
Prepare the Candy Box:
Place each question on a sticky note attached to a candy image.
Run the Retrospective:
Team members take turns picking a candy and reading the question aloud.
Each person shares their thoughts, focusing on recent sprint experiences.
Discuss and Solve:
After each prompt, discuss any patterns, challenges, or areas for improvement.
Identify actions the team can take to address issues.
Write down action items from each discussion.
Follow Up:
Summarize key takeaways and assign follow-ups to ensure improvements are implemented.
The Candy Box Agile Anti-Patterns template is perfect for teams looking to improve their process in a fun, productive way!
