I’ve done a quick check with the team to understand how we can improve the task board and one of the problem raised was that because the tasks were displayed on a wall that was less accessible to some of the team members they didn’t update their tasks as often as possible – instead of moving tasks from To-do to In progress and then Done they waited until several such “updates” were accumulated (or until they happen to pass by the wall) before moving the tasks on the board.Īnd so we’ve found a solution – each developer had his own task board right above his head. Some of the team liked the idea, some not so much… And over time it was clear who was updating his current progress and who’s tasks didn’t change on the board for the last two iterations. And the team’s manager was happy because now it was clear what each of us were doing. The team members could tell what are the priorities and their current and future work. And the improvement was felt immediately. And as simple of that we had all of the team’s tasks in a simple, easy to read (and understand) display for the entire world to see. I’ve convinced my manager to start using a “task board” which consisted of using sticky notes and one of the walls of the office.
