Mission to Mars: An Agile Adventure

Insendi welcomes members of the Canary Islands Software Engineering Community to an evening of Agile adventure. Come meet our team, get to know Insendi, and most importantly join us for an engaging evening of learning, pizza and drinks!

This is a free event that will be hosted primarily in English (as we're a global team), and we will provide support for the game with instructions and explanations in Spanish to make sure everyone can participate and fully enjoy the evening.

About Mission to Mars, an Agile Learning Adventure

Your mission to colonise and explore Mars has gone catastrophically wrong and you've crash landed! Can you work together as a team to survive and escape - or perhaps even thrive on - the Red Planet?

Players will be split into teams and work together through multiple simulated sprints to try and achieve their mission objectives. It is a collaborative game within which teams can learn and build on agile and product delivery concepts that are relevant in the real-world, in a fun and engaging setting.
