The Scrum LEGO City Game is about building a nice city with Lego bricks - not a new idea till here - and doing it using as much as possible what learned during the Scrum Training. To create the sense of urgency, agile42 presents the "Product Vision" as to prove to the world that it is possible to build a LEGO city in only 20min. of working time...
Hi all, as agreed with our classes we decided to initiate a series of posts communicating the highlights of our trainings. In particular we constantly evolve the way we teach Scrum, and we make a lot of effort to make people live the best possible experience in only two days of training.
Introduction
After some years doing training, we came to the point where we really needed to find something that was good enough to put all together in a reasonable time, the theory of Scrum. Well after some reading over the internet and some inspecting & adapting, we came out ...

Use these simple Planning Poker decks to break down complex software engineering problems into manageable chunks, and estimate fast and precise.
The Planning Poker Card Decks come together with the Business Value Game.
Hi there,

You can order them on our Planning Poker Page

Our development team released Agilo 0.7.3.3 which is a maintenance release for the 0.7.3.x series.
The agile42 development team just released Agilo 0.7.3.3 which is a maintenance release for the 0.7.3.x series. We managed to fix some more bugs, pointed out by the nice community of Agilo users :-) Thank you very much for your bug reports!
Some issues we fixed:
- changed some code which might be the cause for the 'tickets loose their sprint connection' issue that was reported by users previously.
- added more safety guards so that Agilo should work better for a multi-environment trac when some environments don't use Agilo
- added missing help pages for the ...

Finding the topics
Of course we appreciate proposals upfront for the upcoming Scrumtisch, but mostly people are busy and therefore we collect wishes and questions at the beginning of the event. We write these questions on the "wall" and after we prioritize them. We can make use of electrostatic whiteboard, and a projector, so if you want to prepare something, you are really welcome, just post your idea into the Scrumtisch website

Timeboxed discussion
The 2 highest prioritized "Topics" will be discussed. The others are ending up in a backlog for the next Scrumtisch. We focus on each of the ...

New VM Appliance uploaded, searching for someone to help in keeping on appliance development, it could become a community effort, we would support it of course...
Hi all,
today I uploaded a updated version of the Agilo Appliance, now in synch with Agilo release. Unfortunately we do not have the right tools to build an appliance, and it takes a considerable amount of time to configure a new one every time.
If someone out there have an idea on how to do it properly, which include:
- Reduce the size to the minimum
- Dynamically configure the network when first starting
- Use more format or a more portable one?
Thanks
