This module was originally developed by Sandy Worthing and Andy Heppelle.
This module is a small team activity that can be tailored for multiple experiential learning goals.
It can focus on:
- Benefit of Rapid Prototype - for the team that is considering changing the way that they build products (IT or non IT alike)
- Benefit of Client Intimacy - for the team that is trying to become more responsive/interactive with their Clients and more agile in the Market
- Benefit of Cross Disciplinary Communication - for the team that is in an organization that has barriers to intergroup collaboration
Debriefs of the Session tend to be very rich with a focus on the "voice of the Customer" and "how it feels" when you are forced to "just do the job as laid out in the written requirements".
