Lean Procurement Canvas
With the Lean Procurement Canvas and Lean-Agile Procurement we provide for the very first time a tool and approach that respects agile values and practices during sourcing and/or sales.
For successfully going to market with a new business case, a strong team consisting of internal and/or external people is the foundation. However finding the right complementary people, partners, services or products isn’t easy and takes time. Current sourcing processes and approaches can’t cope with uncertainty and complexity of innovation, new strategic partners, etc.

4 L's Retrospective Template
Works best for:
Retrospectives, Decision Making
So you just completed a sprint. Teams busted their humps and emotions ran high. Now take a clear-eyed look back and grade the sprint honestly—what worked, what didn’t, and what can be improved. This approach (4Ls stand for liked, learned, lacked, and longed for) is an invaluable way to remove the emotion and look at the process critically. That’s how you can build trust, improve morale, and increase engagement—as well as make adjustments to be more productive and successful in the future.
Agile Transition Plan Template
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, Agile Workflows
An Agile transformation roadmap can help you, your team, and your organization transition from rigid compliance-heavy methods to the more flexible Agile way of doing things incrementally. From requirements to integrations to security, you can map out your organization's moving parts as “swim lanes” that you can then update regularly. Use your roadmap as a way to tell the story of how you see your product growing over a period of time. Get buy-in without overselling and keep your roadmap simple, viable and measurable. By using an Agile transformation roadmap, you can avoid getting bogged down in details and instead invest in big-picture strategic thinking.
Soccer Retrospective
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, Retrospectives, Meetings
The Soccer Retrospective template offers a sports-themed approach to retrospectives, using the game of soccer as a metaphor for teamwork and strategy. It provides elements for reflecting on past performances, analyzing strengths and weaknesses, and setting goals for improvement. This template fosters a competitive yet collaborative spirit, encouraging team members to work together towards common objectives. By leveraging the metaphor of soccer, the Soccer Retrospective empowers teams to refine their tactics, enhance communication, and achieve their goals effectively.
The Team Canvas (Basic)
Works best for:
Agile
The Team Canvas (Basic) offers a simplified framework for aligning on goals, roles, and processes within Agile teams. It provides structure for defining purpose, clarifying responsibilities, and visualizing the working environment. By fostering open communication and shared understanding, this template facilitates collaboration and increases team cohesion, empowering you to create a shared vision and drive collective success.
DMAIC Analysis Template
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, Design Thinking, Operations
Processes might not seem like the funnest thing to dive into and examine, but wow can it pay off—a more efficient process can lead to serious cost savings and a better product. That’s what DMAIC analysis does. Developed as part of the Six Sigma initiative, DMAIC is a data-driven quality strategy for streamlining processes and resolving issues. The technique is broken into five fundamental steps that are followed in order: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control.
Fibonacci Scale Template
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, Prioritization, Agile Workflows
When you manage a team, you often have to estimate how much time and effort tasks will take to complete. Try what often works for Agile teams all over the world: Turn to the Fibonacci Scale for guidance. Based on the Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the summation of the two previous numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, etc.), this template can help you build timelines like a champ—by helping make sure that work is distributed evenly and that everyone is accurate when estimating the work and time involved in a project.
