FAQ – everything you need to know
Clear answers to your questions
Discover how intuitive, paper-like interactions accelerate adoption and unlock enterprise-wide engagement from day one.
How do I digitize my visual management without losing what already works?
Your existing visual system is battle-tested — the last thing you want is to disrupt it.
iObeya lets you mirror your physical boards exactly, from sticky note layouts to huddle flows, so you can go digital without reinventing the wheel. It respects your rituals — and enhances them with structure, automation, and traceability.
How can I ensure digital adoption from the shop floor up, not just top-down?
The real test of any system is whether it gets used.
iObeya was designed to feel like paper, not like software. It’s tactile, intuitive, and configurable to local routines so teams don’t need training, just access. The result? High adoption from operators, not just managers.
Can I transition from paper Obeyas gradually or do I need to go all-in?
You don’t need to flip the switch overnight.
iObeya supports hybrid setups: digitize just one board or room for a single team, maintaining your paper-based visual assets in parallel, and expand as comfort grows. Many customers begin with a digital twin of their Obeya and evolve naturally from there.
How is this different from a digital whiteboard tool?
Most whiteboard apps give you a blank canvas. What you need is a system.
iObeya isn’t just a whiteboard: it’s a structured visual management platform designed for Lean, TPM, and Operational Excellence.
It gives you boards with purpose: tier meeting flows, A3 problem-solving templates, QCD dashboards, CI tracking, all with ownership, history, and escalation logic built in.
If you’re managing improvement work, not just brainstorming ideas, iObeya is built for you.
What if my team is hesitant to switch from paper boards?
They probably will be; until they see iObeya in action.
The magic of iObeya is that it looks and feels like your team’s existing visual boards. Sticky notes, color codes, swimlanes: all replicate your physical board exactly, with zero redesign or retraining needed.
Most teams are up and running in under a week because it doesn’t feel like a new system. It feels like the board they already trust, just better.
