Jenny Tarwater is bringing the best of the best games home to Kansas City. The Agile Games Conference is an annual event hosted by Agile New England that provides an immersive exploration of some of the more interesting, playful, and fun concepts behind Agile Software Development. We all acknowledge that work is important, but shouldn't we be able to have fun while doing it?
Agile games are activities focused on teaching, demonstrating, and improving Agile and organizational effectiveness using game theory. Using games, we can model complex or time-consuming processes and systems, examine why they work (or don't work), look for improvements, and teach others how to benefit from them. Games can model just the core of a process or model, leaving out unimportant factors. They can involve collaboration, brainstorming, comparing variants, and of course retrospectives.
Plan on an immersive experience, come play!

Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at 7:00:00 PM Denny's Restaurant 1600 Broadway Blvd, Kansas City,
Open to anyone in the area who is interested in developing video games. In order to have a little structure, we'll try to do a couple things each week:
Introduce new members. What have you worked on, game related or not? What do you want to work on next?
Discuss this week's conversation starter. Some article, video or game that we can dig into a little.
Members can present any games they're working on, for feedback or just to brag.
Of course, it's all very informal. The main goal is interesting conversation(s) about our passion.
Looking forward to it!
