The Waste Snake
πππ¬ππ ππ§ππ€π π and πππ πππππ
Itβs a simple formality, when you are doing tedious low-value work, or waiting idly you write up a sticky note about it.
You select a central and visible place to record the type of waste so others can see it. Periodically you look at the visual and see what low-value or no-value tasks have been occupying the teamβs time.
When you decide enough is enough, you allocate time to fixing the problem - reducing or eliminating the waste and wait times. I like to affinity sort, categorise into βinsights/themesβ, dot vote, and then explore potential experiments.
The real goal is to raise awareness of waste as the opposite of delivering value. Itβs a critical tool to help empower teams who can control their own processes to identify non-value-adding wastes and discover ways to reduce or eliminate them.
