Hello Readers!

Here we have for you another Innovation Game centered around prioritization. It is a visual and crisp way to chart out and understand priorities of upcoming tasks , features or stories.

Game :   20/20 Vision

Aim :       To chart out the RELATIVE priorities of the tasks at hand

Method:  The 20/20 game elaborates the prioritization of each task in relation to a benchmark task of medium priority and complexity.

Just like a visit to the Optometrist, where he makes you compare the various lenses to find the best suitable for your sight, in this game we make the team compare all stories / requirements / tasks and find the right place for them on the chart of priority in relation to the one benchmark level.

Description: Write down all stories on post-its. With the team’s consensus and decision, decide on one story which is of medium level and put in on the board in the middle.

Now the team goes through each story one by one, and places the story on the board as higher or lower priority in relation to the benchmark story. At the end of the exercise, we arrive at a visual representation of the story or task prioritization, giving us a clear road-map for future!

This game takes almost 15-30 minutes only depending on the number of tasks at hand, as compared to long planning meetings.

Give it a try, it is fun ! 🙂

Cheers,

Nishi
