Welcome to the Maxx Systems Virtual World Exercise! We are excited to introduce to you this exercise, meant to introduce the Agile methodology to companies and its potential benefits for companies. Maxx Systems is a fictional company but is modeled after a real company in the appliance industry.
The methods being used in the exercise is uses principles based in Cognitive Science and is immersive, iterative, and engaging. The principles used in this exercise has been successfully used by hundreds of leaders in over thirty companies across four continents.
The exercise is executed in two rehearsal exercises. Each rehearsal has two modules, as described above there is a market driven product feature part and there is a user experience driven product enhancement part. Each part is four periods (replicating a month each). Each period approximately 30 minutes duration. Do not attempt the exercise only once the period between rehearsals is important for the building of executive decision-making expertise.
Following completing the 4 months/periods work there will be a discussion with an “overseer”- facilitator to discuss learning objectives and related performance.
There is also a Help Desk for participants to contact when encountering a mechanical difficult in executing the activities within the virtual world.
See Document #2 in Internal Documents for a table that shows the continuity in a storyboard fashion to help participants see what to do and why.
