My first contact with the unconference Play4Agile was in 2014. It had one year of experience with agile. I wanted to meet people who could show me how to create plays and games that could open the minds of the people I worked with in my company and for sure open my horizon as well. Although I had participated in the Agile Coach Camp in 2013 and had a friendly + mind-blowing experience, I felt a bit out of my comfort zone going there.
This long weekend that I spend in Rückersbach was again a powerful experience. Working with such a group of dedicated people, with so much passion for what they were doing and on the same time open minded, playful and welcoming.
I left with a backpack full of new ideas, that kept me busy the next months. A side effect of this is, that you experience that you are not alone believing in agile values.
I only can recommend it – which is the reason why I forwarded my #playplication for #p4a18
One of the best things is the ROI. Because it is self organized it costs only about 400 € including accommodation and food. The ideas that you take away in your head are priceless!
On the P4A website they describe best who participates?
“Play4Agile is for playful, creative people who are passionate about change… from all over the world. We welcome those who want to exchange questions, ideas and experiences on using games in teams and organisations!
Play4Agile provides an open playground to inspire each other and to learn how using serious games can help us achieve our goals.
Play4Agile is a gathering of experienced peers from all over the world to create and play games in an inspiring environment.
The conference usually sells out quickly, so mark your calendar with the registration date!”
Hope to meet you there one day! Maybe 2018, because Lady Luck was on my side in the lottery 🙂
