Agile Team

From the Devs

Lead an Agile software team through a year of impossible deadlines, executive surprises, sprint planning, and workplace chaos.  Every decision shapes your team, your product, and your chance of shipping on time.

Building software is hard.

Building software while Sales promises impossible features, Marketing wants a flashy demo by Friday, executives invent new priorities every sprint, and developers insist "it'll only take two more weeks"... that's the real challenge.

Agile Team is a humorous narrative management game where you step into the role of a Product Owner leading a software team racing to launch a brand-new video streaming platform in just one year.

Every sprint brings new challenges.

Will you protect your developers from endless interruptions or keep stakeholders happy?  Do you prioritize technical debt or ship the feature Marketing desperately needs?  Can you survive the latest executive initiative without derailing the entire roadmap?

There are no perfect decisions—only trade-offs.

As the year unfolds you'll guide sprint planning, manage personalities, balance morale against delivery, and navigate the wonderfully absurd realities of modern software development.  Every choice influences your team, your relationships, and ultimately whether your product launches successfully or not.

Whether you've spent years in Agile—or simply enjoy strategy games driven by memorable characters and meaningful choices—you'll recognize the humour, frustration, and surprisingly human moments behind every sprint.
