Presentation: Buy a Feature

Buy a feature is an interactive game designed to illuminate the complexities of prioritisation and resource allocation. In this hands-on simulation, teams are presented with a range of potential product features, each carrying its own costs and benefits. Through lively discussions and negotiations, participants must collaboratively decide which features to invest in given limited resources.

By grappling with real-world trade-offs, ‘Buy a Feature’ offers a tangible experience of Agile principles in action. The game encourages adaptive planning, iterative decision-making, and effective communication among team members. As you navigate the challenges of making strategic choices within constraints, you’ll develop a practical understanding of Agile concepts that can be directly applied to your projects.
