 notice there's a pile of of handouts and some fake dollar notes for now you can just leave them as is they'll be needed for the group activity so we'll we'll explain how how to use them feel free to pick up any of the index cards if you need to for writing any notes but everything else is going to come in handy as we get into the exercises should we get started all right let's get started so our topic for today is beyond Moscow prioritization techniques for agile teams my name is Tarang Bakshi I work for ThoughtWorks as a project manager I'm Chirag I work at ThoughtWorks at our Pune office as well and I have been a developer I've played project manager roles as well so so in in today's topic like the topic says we're talking about prioritization techniques and and not just the basic ones like must have should have could have but a wide range of topics so so but before we talk about what exactly we'll cover in today's topic a quick sort of poll to to get to know who all have done prioritization exercises of of some kind have you been part who has participated in prioritization exercises okay cool about half whose which ones of you have led or organized sort of run these sessions run these sessions yourself have you a few people okay couple of you all right and how many of you have have been in a prioritization session XA ran an exercise and then felt this wasn't as effective did you feel the results weren't weren't quite what you expected stuff like that so you have you have some experience like that in the room so so we've been over the years working on on various project me and Tarang individually and and in some cases even while we were working on the same team together we've we've come to realize that prioritization in agile teams is a is a very important activity it it happens whenever it does happen it has long-term impact you know when I say long term the next two three months of what the team is doing will be determined by by those those sessions and the other thing is that that it needs to keep reoccurring every few iterations at some in at some level and every few months at least in most projects so so so that's why we've come to realize that there is a variety of these types of techniques you know they vary in in the scale at which you run them they vary in in what you're getting your your stakeholders to think about and so in this session that's what we will try and cover a few of those try and get you to play a few games do a few exercises yourself to for you to experience some of that
