I start with some "made up" rules. The dollar cup for curse words works well. Get the team to agree on what that fund goes towards at the beginning of the day. That get's folks attention and is a great conversation tool. Also, I have toys. Nerf guns get people engaged as well. And, always have food, and candy. A full fridge of beer as a reward at the end is always a good way to wrap up the day. Hi Joe,

One thing I found unclear though is: Are you doing release planning or iteration (sprint) planning? By release I mean something that will actually be put into production. Nice post!
