Adventure Academy (AA) is an MMO for Middle Schoolers. They go on quests, and some of these quests are learning games. I was asked to create a team called GSDK to build these games. This example game is called Fractions Cafe. It has a penguin chef that teaches you to cook, but also teaches you fractions while making pizza.
I created about 5 small cross-functional teams. We used a hybrid unique Kanban method that tracked only major stages, as they were smallish games and stages could be met within 1 or 2 sprints. I gave the teams a lot of autonomy with stand-ups and check-ins, but mostly tracked the stages concept/prototype/alpha/beta/final. The teams really liked the freedom, enjoyed that they could make any call with their team to get to the next stage quickly.
It was a good model, all teams enjoyed it. and they generated game content very fast.
