A3 Problem-Solving Canvas
The Lean Competence version - one page, eight boxes, no slideware. The exact canvas we hand a team on day one of a sprint.
Verified practitioner
The A3 is a thinking tool, not a status report. This is the canvas we put in front of a team on day one - one page, eight boxes, enough structure to keep the thinking honest and not one box more.
It walks left to right: background, current condition, goal, root-cause analysis, countermeasures, plan, follow-up. The field guide explains what good looks like in each box, with a worked example from a real changeover sprint so you are not staring at an empty sheet.
