The Elephant Carpaccio exercise is a great way for software people to practice & learn how to break stories into really thin vertical slices. It also leads to interesting discussions about quality and tech practices.
The exercise was invented by Alistair Cockburn. We’ve cofacilitated it a bunch of times and we encourage people to run it everywhere.
This is a detailed (shu-level) facilitation guide based on how Alistair runs it plus some minor adaptations from Henrik.
The exercise takes 90-120 minutes, and scales well. We normally do it with 10-20 people but have also done it with groups up to 30.
