Visual management tools are an effective way of helping businesses keep track of their progress on projects. They provide a visual, not written, memorandum of what's been done and what's left to do.  Ivan Turgenev said "A picture shows me at a glance what it takes dozens of pages of a book to expound." Show, don't tell. Visual management saves time by providing a simplified version of complex information. If a project has stumbled to a halt, it shows where the stoppage is. It encourages collaboration and communication among teammates by showing people what their teammates have done or need to do. Visual management tools can be as cheap as a pack of post-it notes or as expensive as fancy computer programs. One low tech visual management tool is the whiteboard. If all members of a team are in the same location, this can work very well, and color coded dry erase markers can keep track of different segments of a project. For a more complex project, or one where teammates are in different buildings or even different cities, on-line project management software is available. A popular and effective system is Kanban boards; these can be on-line or a physical whiteboard or bulletin board. Kanban is Japanese for visual signal or card. Originally used by Toyota factory workers, it lets people visualize the work and the work flow. Slow-downs and other problems are easily visible, and thus dealt with more easily. It makes it simpler to prioritize parts of a task. Seeing what's done, what is currently in the process of being done, and what needs to be done creates a smoother flow of work. This improves communication between teammates, as well as communication between supervisors and workers. Kanban boards are a useful, cost-effective visual management tool for any business.
