Study Notes
Obeya (The Big Room) Overview
- Obeya, derived from the Japanese word for "big room," is a unique approach to project or program management.
- It's a dedicated space for coordination and problem-solving, designed to minimize organizational barriers.
- Obeya fosters collaboration and transparency, focusing on mindset and behavior.
Obeya as a Physical Space
- The physical Obeya space includes a large open room, breakout areas, and technology for team activities, file-sharing, and information-sharing structures.
- Consideration for bio-related factors and physical needs of those present is crucial.
- Visual aids like flip charts, markers, sticky notes, and whiteboards are used to track project progress, priorities, and information.
Obeya Approaches
- Obeya can be implemented in different ways:
- Colocated: Participants are physically present together continually.
- Recurring: Participants meet regularly in person but aren't always in the same physical space.
- Hybrid: A blend of in-person and virtual attendance of different participants.
- Virtual: Participants from multiple locations and differing time zones collaborate virtually.
Big Room Rules
- Preparation: Setting the stage for productive meetings.
- Improvement: Fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
- Effective Onboarding: Ensuring everyone understands the project context.
- Positive Reinforcement: Encouraging a positive work environment.
- Focus on Learning: Prioritising knowledge acquisition and skill development.
- Safe, Confidential Zone: Promoting open communication and trust.
- No Stripes: Eliminating hierarchy and barriers to participation for all.
- Speak Up: Encouraging everyone to share concerns and thoughts.
- Listen to Others: Active listening and respect is vital for effective collaboration.
Signs of a Failing Obeya
- Constant updates on the visual boards are needed for maintaining engagement and providing needed information
- If everything appears "green" and problem-free.
- Lack of action or discussion after problem identification.
- If there isn't sufficient understanding of what is important.
- If most people seem disengaged or distracted during meetings.
- If the space is only used for meetings and not a space for innovation or engagement
Management by Exception
- Management by exception is a radical shift from command and control, focusing on dealing with issues/problems only when required.
- Obeya makes it easier to spot issues.
- Obeya allows the team to make improvements to timelines, priorities and approach to improve outcomes.
Other Obeya Benefits
- Obeya meetings accelerate cohesion among team members.
- Obeya promotes leadership effectiveness and provides an opportunity to showcase leadership skills.
- It creates high transparency and greater collaboration among people in the group.
- It can enhance problem solving and decision-making.
Obeya for a Project
- Obeya is implemented efficiently by setting it up early in a project with meetings that are planned and regularly scheduled to match the project's needs
Obeya's Relationship to the Deming Cycle
- The Deming Cycle (Plan, Do, Study, Act) provides structure for problem-solving within Obeya to achieve continuous improvement.
A3 Problem-Solving Steps
- A3 problem-solving is a seven-step process for approaching problem-solving, and to help develop counter measures/solutions in the obeya:
- Step 1: Background description
- Step 2: Business case for resolution
- Step 3: Clear state problem impacts: Customer, costs, timelines, project
- Step 4: Define current condition/problem
- Step 5: Agreement upon improvement goal
- Step 6: Determine root cause of problem
- Step 7: Develop counter measures, complete follow up
Who Should Participate in Obeya
- Participants in the Obeya should be chosen based on their relevance to the project and their ability to add value.
What Did You Decide?
- Summarize the key discussions and agreements of the Obeya meeting.
Specific Contributors to Obeya
- Specific individuals involved in the Obeya sessions.
