Agile Kata Storyboard Template

—

The Agile Kata is a helpful pattern for those who strive for business agility.

It can

be a form of retrospective,
steer agile transformations,
serve as a process for agile teams or
even be the way you experimentally improve products.

This canvas helps agile coaches, leaders and teams to conduct the coaching cycle and keep track of their experiments.

👀 Also read the Agile Kata paper (before using the template). It's available in 10 languages. The paper explains how Agile Kata is a powerful practice that combines the core elements of the Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata with the principles of the Agile Manifesto and an agile leadership style.

💡 The lower left part of the canvas where you connect your experiments with the priciples for agile (product) development is where you overcome agile frameworks and methods!
