Re: [OSList] A "kanban" board to help get session reports

[Harold Shinsato]

Shay, you're welcome. I was not in the open space when I wrote that note. I just walked over to the wall and the labels are "Proceedings Pending", and "Proceedings Done".     Cheers,     Harold On 10/11/10 11:31 PM, Shay Ben Yosef wrote: Thanks Harold, Great idea. I'm preferring 'Did'nt arrived yet' instead of 'Not done' thanks Shay 2010/10/12 Harold Shinsato <har...@shinsato.com> I'm writing from San Francisco after the first day of Agile Open Northern California. In case you aren't familiar with Agile - it is a revolutionary and now quite popular software development philosophy that also comes with a number of practices. Open Space Technology has quite a history with the Agile movement, especially for some of the earliest Agile conferences - up through today. Today I've seen one of the most effective methods ever for encouraging prompt session reports. The approach is loaned from the Japanese "Kanban" which just means visual card. Kanban is now being used in software development to help track what's planned and what's done with visual cards posted on a wall. At Agile Open NorCal - once the sessions were completed, the paper used to announce it was are removed from the agenda wall and moved to another wall where there were two slots. The first is "not done", or the sessions for which notes were not produced. Once notes were completed, the session page would be moved to the "done" slot. I was impressed how it seemed to speed up people finishing the notes - just by having quick visibility about what sessions had completed documentation, and which didn't. Any thoughts about this? It seems quite easy to do. -- Harold Shinsato har...@shinsato.com http://shinsato.com twitter: @hajush * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist -- ד"ר שי בן יוסף, .Shay Ben yosef, Ph.D ניווט במורכבות Navigating Complexity 972-54-2112383, skype - shayby2 עפרה 90627 Ofra, Israel www.shayby.co.il * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
