The Agile Self-assessment Game is a card game which teams can play to improve collaboration and increase their agility. Marijke Vandermaesen played the game with her team in their agile retrospective. She thinks that “the self assessment game is a good format for a retrospective”. Here are her experiences from playing this game.

The book AgendaShift explores how to apply lean and agile principles for lasting change in organizations. Mike Burrows defined Agendashift which is an inclusive, non-prescriptive, values-based, and outcome-centric approach to continuous transformation supported by online, workshop, and coaching tools.
De Agile Self-assessment Game is een kaartspel wat teams kunnen gebruiken om hun agility te verhogen. Marijke Vandermaesen speelde het spel met haar team in een retrospective en stuurde mij haar ervaringen die ik graag deel met jullie. Haar conclusie: "de game is een goed format voor een retro voor teams die pas starten en zoeken naar praktijken om op te nemen of meer ervaren teams die goed op elkaar ingespeeld zijn en zoeken naar de laatste puntjes om op de i te zetten".
Many agile coaches are looking for new innovative ways to help Scrum and Agile teams improve. They want to coach teams in a way that they can discover how they are doing and come up with ideas to become better and deliver more value to their customers and stakeholders. The Agile Self-Assessment Game is a tool that helps them to do that. Andreas Schliep, Executive Partner at DasScrumTeam AG shared his experiences playing this game.
A new version of the Agile Self-assessment Game has been released. There's an introduction discount of 50% on the game and all expansion packs.
