Get your priorities straight!

For the ending week of Agile training, we had to find an organization system for 20+ dog breeds in which we had to rate our tasks importance based on certain common factors, using the fibanacci sequence. After flailing for a few minutes, Emil kicked out butts into gear. We based each breed using the average adult male.

We then found the smallest and used that as our zero base; vice versa with the largest. Once we had finished the task, Emil reviewed it and agreed with our estimations. Splitting up into smaller groups, we used to same logic to rate the tasks for Four Nights in Paris.

Personally, I find that working through an example with guidance before assigning individuals tasks is the more effective teaching method for full comprehension. Not only do I see the versatility for the system, I understand the sequence of deciding which factors are relevant.
