Variations of the Lean Penny

Game
The Penny Game is a simple lean game I've
written about before. For the low price of 20
cents, you can teach lean. The Penny
Game shows how small batches are more
efficient using 20 coins.

In the last few months, I've come across a few

variations and tweaks of the basic game.

First, Jim Ralston presents a streamlined and

updated variation of the Penny game on his
blog. He describes it as a "Kool-Aid", meaning
this game will quickly win converts to lean! Drink
the Kool-Aid and join us!
In Jim's version, there's no change to the actual
method. You still flip pennies over in batches
and pass them to the next person. But he's made
it more relevant to software development by
assigning specific roles to each participant.
There's a designer, developer, tester and scrum
master. And, of course, there's a customer!

This variation shows how easy it is to take a

simple game and make it your own. By tweaking
the Penny Game descriptions, Jim has made it
easier for people in his particular business to
drink the lean Kool-Aid. If you're in the software
biz, it may be worth your time to download Jim's
role diagram below and check out his analysis on
his site.

If you're not into software, take a cue from Jim

and tweak it to your own process.

Next is something a little more in depth. How

about a 173 page slide show of the Penny Game
in action?
The slideshare embedded below is perfect for
anyone that wants to get a feel for the Penny
Game, but doesn't have a group to try it on.
After the introductory pages, each slide
represents one flip or move of a penny. This way
you can scroll through them and see how the
game works, step by painstaking step. If you go
really fast, it almost looks like it's animated, like
a flip book.

Before trying out the Penny Game with your

group, it's worth giving this slideshare a quick
flip through, and see the difference smaller
batches make.

Hi, when looking Marcus's penny game, it seems
that 1 tick was not counted when passing the
batch over, during the 3rd trial. Was that made
deliberate to explain transport waste savings?

Hi,

no that is probably just a slip up from me. Sorry.

Thank you for you keen eyes!

How do you time "how long each person worked"
with one piece flow? You would have to
start/stop the timer 20 times for each person,
no?

Since your auto's title will be set up against the
credit, you have to display evidence of
proprietorship. You additionally need to at any
rate have references one of which must be an
individual from your family.
