What is the AgileWalls action wall?

The AgileWalls action wall is part of Obeya, a model for including many sources of information so you can make the best decisions. Obeya, or “war room” in Japanese, helps leadership synthesize and act on information from across the organization. Part of the model is making information visual so everyone can understand, contribute to, and act on it—such as this template.

In the AgileWalls action wall template, you list out your team’s to-do list by status, from backlog, to in progress, to done. This helps you judge your project’s current standing, so that as changes come you’ll be prepared to respond quickly. Use the template to keep track of everything and be prepared to pivot effectively as impediments arise.

Benefits of the AgileWalls action wall template

The template gives you a visual overview of work items so you can track their progress and identify any coming roadblocks. This helps you stay on top of your project and respond quickly to any issues that come up. The final section of the template encourages reflection so you can continuously improve your processes.

Additionally, the template is easy to customize to your needs and designed so you can collaborate on it with others. You can make the AgileWalls action wall tailored to your organization’s needs.

How to use the AgileWalls action wall template in Lucidspark

Begin by listing all of your team’s tasks on sticky notes—use the provided ones in the template and add your own, as needed. Next, sort the sticky notes by status:

Backlog
To do
Doing
Waiting
Done

As your project progresses, move the sticky notes to the appropriate categories so your action wall stays up to date.

Use the final section of the template to comment on what your team liked and learned throughout the project. Use the “Parked” section for questions, and if you decide not to tackle an item, move it to the “Trash” area.

Encourage your team to react to what others contribute. Use emojis, chat, and comments. Your team can also use freehand drawing to connect ideas.
