YOUR TEAM STRUGGLES WITH THE DAY TO DAY:

An Obeya is a room (real or virtual) where all the information your team needs to act is visible, findable, and usable.

Immediate Relief

The Obeya removes the pains of work, process, and decisions by elevating every member of the team to an informed actor.

It is leadership, agency, and psychological safety made visual.

QUICK, PRACTICAL, TAILORED LEARNING:

This four-session interactive workshop will guide you through building your own Obeya and implementing effective visual management systems.

By the end of the course, you'll have a deeper understanding of visual management principles, practical skills for building an Obeya, and the ability to immediately apply these concepts to your own team and product.

More importantly, your team will have the information they need to thrive.

Why You Care

Whether you are you, or whether you are a boss or team lead or coach or generally interested third party ... you care because ...

Better Decisions.

People who are confused or underinformed make unsatisfactory decisions. Visualization provides the reasons, the methods, and the context of our work, leading to better choices.

Know How You Work.

Seeing your work flow through the Personal Kanban or other obeya visualizations show you and your team what work flows well, what gets stuck, and how to fix it. 

Better Completion.

Overloaded people and teams slow down, deliver less, and struggle with quality. Visual work allows people to focus and finish with quality.

Get Credit and
Give Yourself Credit.

When you see and remember what you have completed, you give yourself credit and plan better in the future.

Plan For Real.

Without seeing the work in visualizations (real or virtual) people will naturally overpromise and under deliver. By making the work visual (it takes up space) we are prompted to select and plan for a more realistic amount of work.  

Work Closely, Even When Apart.

Remote teams use Obeyas physical and on-line every day through hundreds of different apps to communicate expectations, plans, and improvement.
