Explore: Empathy Map (10 min)

In small teams let’s do empathy map on following project:

• Select your most favorite smartphone app

e.g. facebook, twitter, amazon, Apple/Google map, Yahoo news,

Weather, WhatsApp

• Role play with a few being the customer and others being the owner of

the app. App owners ask relevant questions and collect the

requirements on sticky notes and map it on empathy map

• Share what you learned as a group from the exercise


Gemba Walk

The term Gemba means - The Real Place

• Gemba means any direct location where the action is

taking place

• It also refers to a location where value is created and

improved


Farming looks mighty easy

when you plow is a pencil

and you are 1,000 miles

away from a cornfield

-- Dwight Eisenhower


Management needs to observe from the front lines to

develop the best improvement areas - instead of behind

the desk
