How We Develop an Online Kanban Board Game in Two Months?

In the Agile and Lean Software Development course at Taipei Tech, students play an in-person board game called getKanban to learn the essential concepts of Kanban. The COVID-19 outbreak turned instruction online and made playing the in-person game impossible. Since an online substitute was not yet available, we decided to develop our own online version of the board game based on ezKanban, a kanban management system we previously developed. We were able to produce the game in two months and put it in use for online instruction. We attributed the fast development to reuse and extension enabled by adopting Domain-Driven Design, following the guidelines of Clean Architecture in the development of ezKanban, and keeping the game related logic in frontend.
