The Importance of Making Work Visible

Jim Ewel and guest Dominica DeGrandis discuss the importance of making work visible in order to optimize workflow and prevent time waste. DeGrandis, author of Making Work Visible, explains how seeing work visually helps engage the brain and enables better attention and understanding. The two also discuss the “Five Thieves of Time,” which include having too much work in progress, unknown dependencies, unplanned work, conflicting priorities, and neglected work.
