The art of Agile
summary
Hands-on workshop runs teams through a constrained exercise: a product owner privately describes an image to a business analyst who then briefs two developers to draw it in 5-minute sprints using glue, pens, A5 paper and coloured sticks, then runs a retro and a second round where roles share compliance and tooling. The exercise exposes costs of handoffs, a regulator-caused failure (full‑colour single‑page requirement), and shows improved outcomes when teams adopt a specialist-to-generalist shift and integrate work — scaled to 400 people in one run.
