Forget your internal capability heatmaps, this weekend’s all about mapping shaded beer gardens, ice cream vans, and the nearest source of SPF 50.

Yay moment: scoring three direct hits in the 'Sten Do' archery assault head-to-head

Not-so-yay moment: realising your wife was on the receiving end of two out of three of said hits 😬

I seem to have hit on a bit of a winner with this board game. My 13-year-old keeps asking to play it...might be to do with the fact she keeps beating me. Anything that's not a screen has got to be a win!

Anyone got suggestions for other board games teens will engage with?

Architects, you need a tool to give teams that crucial context. Enter: User Needs Mapping coined by @richallen.info!). It's built on @swardley.bsky.social Wardley Mapping's value chain, spiced up with @teamtopologies.com goodness.
