Additional, a presentation from the Spanish Optare Solutions software company was also given, focused in the adoption of agile approaches. After these initial presentations, where the LEAP project and games were introduced, the participants had the opportunity to practice the LEAP games freely, providing assistance when required. They were playing for two hours. Then, during the meal time, opinions and feedback were collected. The event was an opportunity not just to show the products developed at the LEAP project, but also to know each other better, Spanish and Portuguese, and to discuss the advantages and drawbacks of lean and agile approaches. The feedback was generally positive and some participants asked about the possibility to use the LEAP products in the future.
