In 1992, the game was relaunched with a new jingle for television advertisements, "Pop Goes Perfection", to the tune of " Pop Goes the Weasel". To be honest, I’m usually more focused of helping people to recognize the good stuff and define improvements based on that. Recognizing strengths and exploiting them to improve is what makes this exercise work. When everybody is finished, I usually read through the post-its to ensure that every post-it is clear for everybody. After that, you can do dot voting to determine the most popular or urgent topic to discuss. After a brief discussion on the topic, try to identify a (small) improvement that you can already do in the next sprint planning session. If the topic is bigger, break it down into smaller sub-items and try to identify a small action that can already get the team towards a first improvement. You don’t have to fix everything right away! A technique similar to the perfection game is the Angels Advocate, a brainstorming technique which stimulates creative and positive thinking. Just as the perfection game you are not allowed to say any negative things (that would make it a Devil’s Advocate).

Update: Even if you already get past your insecurities, you can still play this game as many times as you want. And it was a small thing that people could miss easily, but I found your mini voice recording in the radio towards the end and listened to your take on the concept of perfection and I have to say, you have a really good and interesting take on it. Even though this is just a test for a larger game, you've shown what you wanted to about your thoughts and feelings about the concept really well through multiple layers in the game, which makes it double great as not many games have things on that depth and also the develop integrated into the game itself.

With on-board storage, the game can be neatly put away after playingPerfector says “What I liked about the performance or object was X,” and proceeds to list the qualities of the object the perfector thought were valuable or should be amplified. With the perfection game you invite team members to participate in improvements as they have to suggest what they could do to make it perfect. You can combine the perfection game with a strengths based retrospective exercise to dig deeper into the strengths that a team possesses and define Solution Focused improvement actions. Valuable Retrospectives

Challenge Perfection (1978): Two to four players play against each other to be the first to fill their base of 18 shapes first. However, the bases are different so that one player could take a piece needed by another player. This version does not feature the pop-up mechanism. [6]

ON TO THE 10!”: How can we go all the way up to 10/10? What should we change, do differently, add, improve, or get rid off to have “the perfect sprint planning session”? As I have understood and use this exercise, the rating is indeed tied to how much the suggestion that comes along would lead to improvement. If the suggestion would improve it by a factor of two, the rating should be 5. If it improves with 20%, then the rating would be 8. It’s good if everybody can at least write down one topic per stage since everybody thought of something while giving a score. I usually put on a timebox of a few minutes and continu when everybody is ready. If your team members tend to write down a lot of topics, you might want to limit the amount to 3-4 per person. Includes 25 geometric shapes, game unit with timer, pop-up tray, and storage compartment, and instructions. Perfectee performs an act or presents an object for perfection, optionally saying “begin” and “end” to notify the perfector of the start and end of the performance.

In the United Kingdom, the game and several of its variants was published by Action Games and Toys (Action GT). The Perfection Game protocol will support you in your desire to aggregate the best ideas. Use it whenever you desire to improve something you’ve created. Superfection (1975): In this advanced version of Perfection, the object is to assemble 16 two-piece puzzle cubes and place them in the tray within two minutes.Scary, but still recommended even for some of the faint of heart(only contains around5 jumpscares and if one takesa break after one, the game is really manageable to finish :D) Piece names (unofficial) [ edit ] Perfection shapes (modern variant) are fitted into a 5×5 game board Action items / experiments: this is the place where you would write down the action items during the retrospective. This makes it easy to summarize them at the end of the session. I'm probably too late on the train for the game BUTthis game was honestly and genuinelyreally interesting and fun. It captures and talks about the parts that people don't talk about a lot and isn't put into games a lot. Which is really cool and made it really interesting and enthralling to play.

Great online store for board games. They always arrive perfectly and undamaged which is important to me. If you cannot say something you liked about the object or specifically say how to make the object better, you must give it a 10. The icebreaker of the perfection game is already the first step of the exercise itself. Ask everybody to rate the last sprint on a scale from 0 – 10, where:it’s no 0:” why didn’t you put a 0? What do you like, or think is going well that made you give your score instead of a 0? I help organizations with effective software development and management practices.

This Post Has 5 Comments Good experimental game, but sad it's so short (I know it was or rather became a small project since not much clould be included in the end) and I still enjoyed it. Definitely going to recommend it to my brother, too, and it wasn't too scary for me either. But that's a hit or miss anyway. I either get scared easily or not at all, so :)
