Information radiators
- 1. Information Radiators (a.k.a. Big Visible Charts) “Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.” --Robert Bresson www.allisonpollard.com
- 2. Allison Pollard Agile coach and consultant Firm believer in continuous improvement DFW Scrum user group leader and Dallas Agile Leadership Network board member Glasses wearer www.allisonpollard.com
- 4. What is an information radiator? A display posted in a place where people can see it as they work or walk by. It shows readers information they care about without having to ask anyone a question. This means more communication with fewer interruptions. www.allisonpollard.com
- 5. Put it on the wall A wall chart is there when we are, in our face, always visible. Bigger is better! www.allisonpollard.com
- 6. Scrum around the board www.allisonpollard.com
- 8. Casual is better Get a tablet of flip chart paper with a sticky back and a light grid, and try drawing your chart with whiteboard markers. You can update it in seconds every day, and if the chart needs to be a bit different, rip it up and draw a new one. You’ll save time, have more fun, and the charts will be more personal and less mechanical. www.allisonpollard.com
- 9. Information radiators can be used to show: The current iteration’s work The number of tests written (or passed) The number of user stories accepted The results of the last retrospective The current release’s work Working agreements, Definition of Done/Ready www.allisonpollard.com

- where you work your history why this topic ...is a Principal Consultant for Improving Enterprises and has worked with Agile teams as a project manager, as a Scrum Master, and in coaching roles. A firm advocate of continuous improvement and the power of teams to affect change, she believes the world needs more strong teams in order to be Agile and meet the demands of today; her goal is to help others create them, shape them, and support them. Allison also volunteers locally as one of the organizers of the DFW Scrum user group and serves on the Dallas Agile Leadership Network board.
- Notice that a central theme to all four core Agile values is communication. It is important to understand that these are just a set of values or beliefs that hold true on successful projects. It is not prescriptive. Individuals…ideally, we would like to have motivated and experienced team members all working in one room. This includes developers, managers, analysts, testers, product owners, and even users. However this is not always possible, and process and tools can then be implemented to fill certain gaps. Working Software…Rather than delivering documentation, just putting the customers in front of working software (even incomplete software), does wonders for discovering hidden requirements as well as for improving transparency and communication in general. However, there are times where it this isn’t possible or when the nature of a product needs extra documentation. Customer Collaboration…Creating a good working relationship with the customer is essential for successful software development. Contracts could create barriers by stripping the customer of the flexibility to ask for changes and Improvements. However, contracts are sometimes hard to avoid, especially when dealing with vendors and contractors. Responding…The ROI on comprehensive plans is rarely achievable. Worse yet, it sometimes makes a team follow a plan even though it is clear that they are heading in the wrong direction.
- A good information radiator -Is large and easily visible to the casual, interested observer -Is understood at a glance -Changes periodically, so that it is worth visiting -Is easily kept up to date
- A simple chart on the wall can bring important information to the attention of the team, the customer, and everyone else who passes through the area. The chart can provide important information, even politically sensitive information, without getting personalities involved or hurting feelings.
