Agile Dojo Szczecin #6: Cynefin Lego Game

Cynefin Lego Game

A game to let you experience four of the five domains of Dave Snowden’s Cynefin framework -

When leading or managing agile transitions, it is important to know what type of system you are dealing with. Playing this game shows you how to decode what is happening in terms of organizational structures and communication in that specific system. Once you are able to do this, you can appreciate the consistency of your communication style with the related system, as well as choose more appropriate tools to set direction and coach

Using Lego, you go through four exercises where the problem to solve and the context you work in is designed to create a simple, complicated, complex and chaotic system. While it does not introduce you to the full potential of the sense-making framework, it is well suited to get a first impression and raise interest in learning more about it! Although Cynefin is at the heart of this exercise, the debriefing focuses on outcome that is not necessarily part of the model.
