Use our range of interactive Agile games to help you get to grips with the key principles of Agile.
“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” With the words of Benjamin Franklin in mind, we want to share with you some of the activities we employ at Box UK to help explain the concepts at the heart of Agile.
Covering iterative development, planning processes and prioritisation, the games below communicate key information in an engaging and interactive way – making it more likely to stick. So have a play, and see what you can learn.
Battleships
Understand the concepts behind iterative development – and the benefits it can offer over up-front planning – using the well-known game of battleships.

Retros Against Humanity
How can you make Agile project retrospectives an engaging and exciting exercise? Try our fun new format, which draws on the infamous party game Cards Against Humanity.
