OpenOrganisations The Voice Point Game
Agile transformative Simulation of the Deming Cycle feasible in a remote environment by Anton Jessner and Birgit C. Krammer. if used, please name the authors.
Play five iterations
- Plan and estimation „points the team will achieve“ (1 Min)
- Simulaiton (2 Min)
- Note achieved points for each iteration

Simulation
You receive one point if following rules are fulfilled:
- Talking during the simulation is not allowed, except counting
- Counting from 1 to number of persons + 3
- The first person has to count the last number
- Every person has to count once
- A person is not allowed to count more than 2 times
- Each person has to count at least once
- If an error occurs the first must restart with number one
- The team is responsible to take care of the rules

- What had happened if no improvements had discussed?

- Who had the authority, so had the authority to make someone follow him/her?
- What about you personel? What was the criteria to follow others in their doing and in their influence doing things different?
