What is the Best way to make mistakes and win? Play video games

Play is a vital part of being a person, and failure is a vital part of play. What is the role of failure in video games? Do players prefer games where they do not feel responsible for failing? My boy for instance, he's a champion in computer games. The kind that has levels, adventures, where the main player gains power and knowledge... And he didn't start playing from the highest level becoming a champ without making mistakes, right?! He kept failing, fixing, repeating, experiencing again, getting better, failing again.. and in the end he feels on top of the world. Why?

The fun of agile, it's the "getting things done game"

I have recently read this presentation, i know, it's from the industry but it really has a lot to do with agile, especially at home. (you can skip some of the technical stuff).

I love the  idea it presents :  fun helps to get things done. Games are the ultimate fun tool (if designed to fit the customer needs).

Agile at home for kids and families is similar to a fun family game. It happens every evening. We have sticky notes, colors, moving stuff around the Taks board, discussing openly the rules and doing it as a family.

When thinking of it , when we apply the agile into the organization development teams , if its not fun , it will not work (at least not to optimum).

So , as I say most of the times… don’t forget to have fun while you are doing it.
