Visual Management: Leading with what you can seeRenee Troughton
Produced and presented by Craig Smith and Renee Troughton at the Agile Australia 2013 20 June.
Using task boards or story walls is a key Agile practice, but are you making the most of it? Visual Management is more than just putting cards on a wall, it is a growing style of management that focuses on managing work only by what you can see rather than reports or paper being shuffled around. Visual Management allows you to understand the constraints in the system, mitigate risks before they become issues, report on progress from the micro to the macro. Visual Management can also be used to demonstrate to customers and clients where the work they care about is at. This presentation is all about taking the management of your work to the next stage of transparency.
Discover:
How to identify when your story wall isn't telling you everything and how to adjust it
* What the three different types of story walls are and which one is more suitable to certain circumstances
* Different ways to visualise your product backlog
Why queue columns and limiting work in progress is so important regardless of whether you are using Scrum or Kanban
* How symbols and tokens can be used to give more information
* What else can you use other than story walls to visualise information
* How to ingrain Visual Management into both the team and management structures of your organisation
* Visualising Your Quality, Testing and Team
* What is systemic flow mapping and why is it important
Based on the popular book: Understanding A3 Thinking: A Critical Component of Toyota's PDCA Management System (2008), by Durward K. Sobek II, a synopsis has been presented here.

3. What exactly is Kaizen?
• Kaizen is a Japanese word that
translates to mean “continuous
improvement.” It's a “do better every
day, with everyone, and everywhere”
philosophy. The focus is on small,
frequent improvements to existing work
processes, generated by all employees
at all levels in an organization—not just
managers and executives. When
applied, it can improve every function of
a business, from marketing to finance to
the warehouse.
4. The Kaizen method consists
of 5 founding elements:
• Teamwork
• Personal discipline
• Improved morale
• Quality circle, and
• Suggestions for improvement.
5. Kaizen is part action plan and part philosophy.
• As an action plan, Kaizen is about organizing
events focused on improving specific areas
within the company. These events involve
teams of employees at all levels, with an
especially strong emphasis on involving plant
floor employees
The Dual Nature of Kaizen
6. Kaizen is part action plan and part philosophy.
The Dual Nature of Kaizen
• As a philosophy, Kaizen is about building a
culture where all employees are actively
engaged in suggesting and implementing
improvements to the company. In truly lean
companies, it becomes a natural way of thinking
for both managers and plant floor employees.
7. Implementing Kaizen Methodology
• Using the Kaizen methodology is an easy way to
engage employees and develop a culture of
continuous improvement. It seems obvious, but
employee engagement has a direct impact on
business processes and success. When you organize
and empower all employees to participate in the
big picture through small effects on their local
environments, they'll stick around longer and work
smarter.
8. Kaizen event procedure
1. Set goals and provide any necessary background.
2. Review the current state and develop a plan for
improvements.
3. Implement improvements.
4. Review and fix what doesn’t work.
5. Report results and determine any follow-up items.
9. Don’t seek perfection
Kaizen methodology doesn’t exist to suddenly perfect
processes, but to simply improve them. One might
even argue Kaizen suggests perfection is
unattainable—that regardless of how well things are
going, there are always ways to improve, from
product features to the way you manage projects.
10. Use 5S and other strategies
Kaizen process improvement is a mindset to always be
on the lookout for ways to improve. But, when the
time comes to implement improvements, you may
find it useful to take advantage of other process
improvement methodologies like Six Sigma or 5s,
which can act as a framework for data-driven decision
making.

2. Seiton - Orderliness
3. Seiso - Cleanliness
4. Seiketsu - standardize clean up
5. Shitsuke - discipline
12. What is the role of Kaizen in Toyota's
history of success?
• The Kaizen philosophy lies behind many Japanese management
theories and concepts such as Total Quality Control, Quality Control
Circles, Small Group activities, and labor relations.
• You might have heard the term Kaizen in reference to The Toyota
Way—a famous tale studied in business school. Or, maybe you've
heard it tossed around with other continuous improvement
methodologies like Six Sigma, Lean, Total Quality Management, 5S,
and the like
13. Kaizen and Toyota Motor Corporation
Relationship
• Kaizen is one of the core principles of The Toyota Production System,
a quest for continuous improvement and a single word that sums up
Toyota’s ‘Always a Better Way’ slogan.
• The history of Kaizen begins after World War II when Toyota first
implemented quality circles in its production process. This was
influenced in part by American business and quality management
teachers who visited the country. ... The term Kaizen actually
became famous around the world through the works of Masaaki
Imai.
14. Toyota production system
• This principle showed up primarily as
a way to acknowledge and address
issues and mistakes as they surfaced.
The prevailing mindset is that
mistakes provide an opportunity for
improvement. Therefore, when
mistakes surface or are recognized,
they are quickly addressed. With this
approach, Toyota was able to
eliminate manufacturing waste in the
form of resources, time, and energy.
