I reflected on a recent experience I had at Deep Agile 2010: Empowering Teams with Agile Games. Working in a small group we created a new game, tested it, and retrospected both the game and our design process in less than half a day. We consciously (and some times unconsciously!) were being agile! (To see and learn more about our game, read Michael Sahota’s summary at The Backlog Is in the Eye of the Beholder.)

It powerfully illustrates one of the concepts that I promote in my three part blog post "Prioritizing for Profit" - that the Product Manager *must* represent the roles of stakeholders. Don't forget to anthropomorphize the system so that it can be its own stakeholder. This powerful technique ensures you're investing in the architecture of the system for the future.
