Concept 1: Make it Big and Visible

• If you make a problem visible many times it will take care of it self

– This is true at work, home, society, etc.

• A picture is worth a 1000 words

– Should Create Action

– Should Set Mood

Concept 2: Manage based on Data not opinion

• If you are getting status by asking the people doing the work you are just guessing.

HOW THEY HELP

Page 18: Big visible charts for the business

What Can they measure?

• Any question you care about

– When will development be complete?

– Am I going to stay on budget?

– When will we be in production?

– Is the business happy?

Page 19: Big visible charts for the business

Are there rules?

• Keep them as simple as possible

• Collaborate

• Keep them up to date

• Resist automation (initially)

• Rarely are emails big and visible

Page 20: Big visible charts for the business

Common Mistakes

• Using a Chart that answers a different than you are asking?

• Forgetting that different people have different questions?

• Forgetting that people’s concerns can change over time?

• Loosing the fact that the chart is for the user not the producer.

• Keep It Simple – reader should not need training to read

• Bad Data = Lost Confidence / Credibility

Page 21: Big visible charts for the business

Types of Big Visible Charts

• Trend Based– Usually something over time– Reader interprets– Easy to create

• Status– Usually red / Green type items

• Is the Build working• Are we on time
