Agile SWOT

Syrfing complexity

As a Team Leader, your stakeholders asked to adopt new Ways Of Working for your team to be more adaptable, responsive and close to customer’s needs. Someone suggested you could move to Agile but you have no idea what is this. However, you know how to use the SWOT matrix and so you decide to analyse Agile using this lens.
You have identified some of the variables in the different dimensions of the matrix, but how they are in reality? How these could impact on your team?

 Agile SWOT (aka Power of Agile) is a serious game for solo players that wants to understand the impact of an Agile Transformation using the lens of a tool of traditional Project Management: the SWOT analysis (more details in wikipedia)
You can also play this game in team, and it is suggested for leaders who want to have a taste of how agile adoption could help teams solving some of their problems and deliver more value, quicker and maybe with some fun.
