Agile visual management – Idea walls instead of white boards

In previous companies, we used white boards, glass boards etc for Scrum board.. In People10, we got most of our office walls painted with Idea paint (writable walls). There are everywhere, next to workstations, inside meeting rooms…Was expensive compared to regular white boards, but it seems like a big hit. Not just the development team, we use it for all sorts of brainstorming and idea generation, be it Marketing, Sales, strategy, HR…. And not to mention design, architecture, process mapping… and the best scrum boards ever 🙂

Advantages : 10 year guarantee, unrestricted space, good quality writing, run your imagination wild…

Disadvantages : Expensive than boards, addictive – you cannot stop writing & drawing on the wall…

Check it out ! I would highly recommend it for any true ‘Agile’ office.
