Some elements of the business heard the message, and took it on board to a degree. What was different this time was that ALL the product stakeholders got the message, understood exactly HOW MUCH the ad hoc work affected us delivering what they wanted, and they acted in response (the prioritisation). All that was new, and in sharp contrast to what went on before. How many repeats of the verbal message 'Well, we didn't finish all your stuff, because something more important came along" does it take before that sounds like an excuse ? Now the evidence is there AND things are being done. I've seen the visual management blog ... good stuff :) Andy There are some green post-its near the middle … the colour is a bit too close to the yellow in the photo.
