Software Development Team-Building Games and Simulations

This is the top-level page for a developer.* Cooperative Digest online book that will collect a number of software development team-building games and simulations. Often these types of activities are undertaken in order to:

• help a new team get acquainted
• help a struggling team find a new direction
• relieve stress and break up grueling work
• teach new skills and principles
• create opportunities for individuals to learn more about themselves and they way they interact with other people
• just have fun

Readers should not take all this too seriously. They are all games, after all (though games and simulations can be powerful tools). Not all games will appeal to everyone or fit all situations. Not all will have any particular purpose other than fun.

This online book is an open collaborative effort. If you have any thoughts or suggestions about a particular game, or about this top-level page, feel free to use the comment forms. If you would like to contribute a game, please
