Opportunistic Boards
Posted by nthorpe in Bankwest, Perth, Lonely Planet, Medibank on March 13, 2013
Sometimes you just don’t have wall space. You may be at the mercy of the building police, who sternly forbid such outrageous acts as using blu-tac on a blank wall to boost productivity – or you may just be somewhere that doesn’t have walls, and you need to think and plan.
What do you do? You get opportunistic.
Here’s a few innovative boards we’ve seen around the traps:
Mark and Gus, at 40,000 feet, on an A380 Airliner:
Agilistas in an activity-based-workspace, who improvised with a shower curtain:

Horizontal board on a desk (we weren’t allowed to put anything on the walls) – with half-sized cards.

What have you seen used as a board?
Shower Curtain Aids Transparency

No, it’s not for planning your iteration in the shower. Sorry.
Sometimes, you just can’t get to the walls. Maybe the building police won’t let you put anything on the walls. Maybe there just isn’t the space, or your team isn’t located adjacent to a wall. Portable whiteboards, which are the usual guerilla weapon of choice in this situation, can block lines of sight and available light. And sometimes they get the building police excited, too.
One team decided to take matters into their own hands and create their own Shower Scene. The cards fit into little pockets designed into the shower curtain. Note the little suckers at the top which allow you to stick it up on any smooth surface.
Just one supplier for this product (shop around, people, and let us know where the bargains are!).
