Hence I changed the company in June, I wanted to create another agile community. With the help of my colleague Chris (barefootagile) this became true. We were clear about what we wanted.
The mission:
In our working environments we see a lack of playful opportunities to learn, a lack of experiments. Because of that we want to play sense and senseless plays and games. We not only want to play them, but we want to transform them into our daily work lives. We want to make them normality.
Our goal, to create value for people and organizations. To manifest an improvement of interaction and collaboration … and last but not least to have fun und let our creativity fly.
#playfulnue is for everyone who like us is still curious, open and has fun in experimenting.
For such a community something is more important than everything else: security. Everyone should be safe to fail. Because of that, we thought of some basic rules to guarantee this:
Ground Rules
• Follow your first impulse
• Whoever brings the idea is the gamemaster
• No talking – just playing
• Everything is time boxed
• Only positive feedback
• Leave you ego in-front of the door
• Everything is voluntary
• No justification
• No means NO!
• No pictures will be taken during the session
Thank you to all the participants of our first meetup who dared to join us. We had a good portion of fun, but as well had some learning insights on how to use the games that we played in our working contexts.
There will be a second edition of Playful Nuremberg.
Hope to see you there.
Tom
