The first sprint
≈ 10 min120 pts max
Context
You just became the technical lead of a scale-up that sells invoicing software to small businesses: 30 people, 8 developers, and a month-end closing that customers never forgive.
For two weeks, everyone will come to you for a decision: the CEO, product, finance, on-call, security. You won't be able to do everything right. Every decision shifts four balances:
- Velocity: what the product sees shipping;
- Budget: the means management gives you;
- Reliability: what production can take;
- Tech debt: what the code will make you pay later.
Objective
Survive the sprint's 20 cards without any gauge reaching 0 or 100.
Drag the card left or right to decide (or use the ← → arrow keys). The dots above the gauges tell which gauges will move and by how much (small or large dot), never in which direction. Every lost sprint costs points, and you can start over as often as you like.
