Will anteater survive?
summary
A rolebased simulation called Agile Zoo pairs teams with zonal backlogs (African section, Aquarium, Insectarium), a small shared budget and a dedicated application that runs the rounds; players buy items like a Carlyon couple or a female hippo to change animal states and fix leaking aquariums and aggressive rats. Sessions produce lots of laughter but also surface that product owners don’t coordinate, let scrum masters be pigeonholed as IT and prompt concrete changes in planning — and whether the anteater survives depends on interteam tradeoffs.
