The challenge is magnified when responsibility is shared between multiple teams and you need to coordinate them in the most succinct way. If a deadline is missed or a task is forgotten, your team can quickly disintegrate into a blame game, e.g. “I thought they were handling it!

Most transformations start with the basic idea of either getting teams to start working in Agile or streamlining their existence process. At a certain point, teams stabilize, velocity improves, quality soars and things look up. Is the goal to repeat the same cycle day after day or is there more to work through once the team stabilizes?

CEOs have spoken with passion about “making everyone an innovator” and the need “to disrupt our own business.” But after years of experimentation, senior leaders are asking: Is this still just an experiment, or are we in it for the long haul?

In certain cases, you might need to share a task or a folder with the entire organization — for example: a task like “Vote where you want to hold the Holiday Party” or the folder for “New Hire Onboarding.” And if you’ve ever done it, you know that it previously took multiple clicks. Well, rest easy. To make your task management more efficient, we’ve implemented a faster way to share a task or folder with your entire team: the My Team group.

The role of metrics in TPS is crisply explained in Jeffery Liker’s book “The Toyota Way”. He explains that Toyota prefers simple metrics and does not use many of them at the plant or the company level. Some of my peers may be surprised to hear this! The author highlights his point with a simple example.
