How do you set up an Obeya board?

A well designed Obeya space is divided into different sections, each with a specific focus.

Strategic Direction

This part of the space is dedicated to the long-term goals and strategies of the organization. Here you see the vision and mission translated into concrete goals.

Performance

This is where key performance indicators (KPIs) are tracked. This helps the team to keep a finger on the pulse and monitor progress towards strategic goals.

Tough Problems

This section is reserved for identifying and solving bottlenecks and problems. By collecting problems here, the team can respond quickly and come up with solutions effectively.

Plan to Value

This section is about turning strategic goals into tactical plans. Action points are formulated and assigned here so that everyone knows what needs to be done to achieve the goals.

Act and Respond

This last part is for the daily follow-up and adjustment of plans. Here progress is assessed daily and adjustments are made immediately if necessary.
