Monotonous life leads to Die slowly
He who becomes the slave of habit,who follows the same routes every day,who never changes pace,who does not risk and change the color of his clothes,who does not speak and does not experience,
Dies slowly.
Pablo Neruda, Noble Prize in literature

Imagine the ultimate luxury hotel. There's gourmet food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. During the day, you do as you please: lounge by the pool, get a spa treatment, romp in the game room. At night, you sleep in a king-size bed with down pillows and 600-thread-count sheet. The staff is ever present and ever pleasant, happy to fulfill any requests you might have, and the hotel even boasts state-of-the-art medical services. You can bring your whole family and socialize with lots of new people. If you're single, you might find that special someone among all the attractive men and women around. And the best part is that it's free. Would you like to stay there?
One additional information:
Once after you enter, you can never come back.
It is a Zoo

What?
21
“Create the product or features in 24 hours that will be used by
customers not just by your team but by anyone who is interested
in the organization”
This is not Hackathon! You will not be working on your own idea
22
How?
23
Invite people from your entire organization or even within your own friends circle. Only condition is they work on similar technology stack and they have basic software to work.
24
Ideal time to start is as early as possible in the day. Product Owner explains and let the team to brain storm for 60 minutes. Let them decide what user stories they would like to pick up. There is no need to commit anything to anyone. Remember this is voluntary team.
1. Invite people who works on same Technology Stack
25
If you are SCRUM master, ensure that you are always around to help them. Now it is time to show up you are a true servant leader. Don’t forget to order some hot and healthy food. Better avoid junk food.
1. Invite people who works on same Technology Stack
2. Start Early in the day and let the people pick up what they like
26
If you are a Product Owner, ensure you are there to explain stories, detail them out and test as well.
1. Invite people who works on same Technology Stack
2. Start Early in the day and let the people pick up what they like
3. Scrum Master: This is still a sprint. Be a servant leader
27
Don’t worry about velocity. It is fine to have one developer coding or testing and two to three people watching him/her. They can take the turns so that they do not get tired.
1. Invite people who works on same Technology Stack
2. Start Early in the day and let the people pick up what they like
3. Scrum Master: This is still a sprint. Be a servant leader
4. Product Owner: This is your backlog. Help them to achieve success
28
Do intermittent demos and tick the boxes whenever they are done. And don’t forget to celebrate success. Let your floor know that you did something amazing.

While the “Flash mob sprint” goes for 24 hours, people are free to leave whenever they feel they can’t go any further.

•Do not over do this. It will burnout the team. Once in a quarter is ideal.•Ensure the backlog is prioritized before starting the sprint.•Ensure that team gets due credit for their contribution.•This can’t be used as bench mark for velocity. This is outlier.
