A project manager has introduced the Obeya/Big Room approach to a complex construction project to improve communication and decision-making among cross-functional teams. While the approach initially helped streamline collaboration, the project manager starts noticing that meetings are becoming unproductive, with team members spending more time in the Big Room without making meaningful progress on their tasks. Some stakeholders also feel disengaged because their input is overlooked.
What should the project manager recognize as a common pitfall of using the Obeya/Big Room, and how can it be addressed?
Answers:
a. Using the Big Room only for high-level decision-making, which slows down project execution.
b. Allowing only a small group of people to attend the Big Room sessions, excluding key team members from the decision-making process.
c. Scheduling Big Room sessions too infrequently, which leads to delayed decision-making and lack of real-time collaboration.
d. Failing to establish a clear structure and agenda, leading to unproductive meetings and disengagement among team members.
