Pair Draw: A Pairing Simulation
PairDraw is a simulation of pairing designed to help people understand what pair-work feels like and how it compares to solo
work. After accomplishing a task by themselves and in pairs, participants share their reactions, which may be both positive
and negative. The simulation provides a gentle introduction to pairing, which is practiced by people throughout the Project
Community.

Extreme Programming, A Simulation
Extreme Programming (XP) is an iterative, customer-focused, test-driven
process that's changing the way people and organizations develop
software. To understand how XP works, you must experience it. To make
it possible for technical and non-technical folks to rapidly experience
XP, Industrial Logic's founder, Joshua Kerievsky, created a
comprehensive simulation of XP. Since late 2000,... Read more |

Evolutionary Design
How does nature evolve organisms and what does that have to do with software
development? If you study nature's approach to engineering, you often find that
highly sophisticated organisms evolve from simple beginnings. For example,
during the earliest growth stages, internal organs are basic but functional and will
mature over time.

Storytest-Driven Development
Storytest-Driven Development involves determining if features of a system work according to a customer's expectations. There
are many ways to implement Storytest-Driven Development, including using XML, Excel or simple languages. A typical challenge
is to empower customers with tools that let them define Storytests (a.k.a. Acceptance Tests) without working with programmers.

The game helps teams learn about: typical problems and solutions on XP projects,
the importance of those problems and solutions, and which problems and solutions are more important
than others. XP War is played with either all of the solution cards or problem cards from Industrial Logic's deck of
