Microscope RPG game mechanics ported for use in a tool for agile software development planning.
- Port all but the explicitly role-playing mechanics from Microscope for use in software planning
- The mapping of terminology will be as follows:
- Periods will become Sprints
- Events will become Features
- Scenes will become Tasks
- The mapping of steps will be as follows:
- Big Picture is the idea for the software. This will be left out of the port to allow for teams to work however they best see fit towards accomplishing a cohesive idea.
- Bookending History is rather implicit for the software idea. Regardless, all software development has a known starting point and an end goal in mind so this will function as it does in the game.
- Palette (adding or banning ingredients) becomes the point in the planning where you determine what technology or technologies to use to accomplish the task.
- First Pass and Gameplay will be merged into a single step.
- The mapping of terminology will be as follows:
- (TBD) Make the tool allow for multiple users in real time.
