How do you set up an Obeya board?

A well-set-up Obeya room is divided into several sections, each with a specific focus.

Strategic direction

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

Performance

Here the key performance indicators (KPIs) are tracked. This helps the team to continuously stay on top of progress towards the strategic goals.

Tough problems

This section is reserved for identifying and resolving bottlenecks and issues. By gathering problems here, the team can respond quickly and effectively design solutions.

Plan to value

This section focuses on translating strategic goals into tactical plans. Action points are formulated and assigned here, so everyone knows what needs to happen to reach the goals.

Act & respond

This final section is intended for the daily follow-up and adjustment of plans. Progress is reviewed daily and adjustments are made immediately when needed.
