Long synopsis (optional):	Many organizations are going through agile transformations. They are implementing Scrum and maybe large scale agile framework like SAFe or DAD, hoping to better serve the IT needs of the business and to develop products that satisfy their customers. Unfortunately, those transformations do not always live up to the agile promise to deliver faster, make better products that customers really like or reducing the IT costs. One of the reasons that transformation fail is that team get blocked while working agile due to impediments, and are unable to solve them themselves or to involve their stakeholders or managers and have them solved. In this game, you will become a team which has been working together for a couple of iterations. The game can be played by 1-4 teams simultaneously. The game consists of a deck of impediment cards, a list of agile and lean good practices, and an impediment board. During the game the teams will be coached in understanding impediments and selecting and deploying good practices to take action. Benefits for attendees: • recognize impediments and understand how they can hinder the team • deploy agile and lean practices to deal with them • learn how to become more effective in dealing with impediments Intended audience: Developers, tech leads, Scrum masters, agile coaches, product owners, (senior) managers Max size: 5000 chars
