Physical vs. Virtual getKanban game thoughts
Raw
getkanban-session-comparison.rst

I've experienced the getKanban physical board game as a trainee, and recently had a chance to lead some coworkers through the game using the virtual version. Here are some thoughts on the differences in no particular order.

  • Being able to project the virtual game on a wall, helped engage the whole room. The physical board limits you to a certain group size (or you risk folks on the periphery disengaging)
  • Seemed to get the same level of engagement, caring, and excitement at shipping features between both versions
  • It's harder to get folks engaged as PMs and accountants since the software does the CFD, Cycle time and Revenue charts for you
  • It's harder to explain/show folks what a CFD is if you're not showing them how to manually create one each simulated day
  • I miss the cycle time chart being color coded by service class, the virtual version shows all the bars as the same color
