Practical Agile - How to influence my kids to become more innovative, make their own decisions and be more independent.

I always struggle with the question of how to influence my kids to become more innovative, make their own decisions and be more independent.

So we have decided to have a practical Agile session that will help us exactly with this challenge.

I had a short practical agile training session, and we have cleaned our house using agile methodology.

We Broke our record, we cleaned our house in 2.5 hours!!!

Ingredients:

• Board - We created a board from our toy closet on which we pasted the task cards.
• Features – We considered each room as a feature and broke each feature to story like tasks.
• Agile cards – we wrote all our tasks and put them on the board, each feature has a different color.

Working process

• We split our family into 2 teams: Adult, teenager, and a younger kid.
• We had a standup meeting and decided together that we will work to complete room by room explaining the concept of stop starting, start finishing.
• Each member of the family took ownership of a task and moved it from To-Do, In Progress, Done.
• The adults did not have to manage the operation.

 That’s it, practical agile!

It was a great experience, our kids learned a new tool, we cleaned our house in an innovative way, each one took a task in an independent way and the value to the family is great.
