Running a team without a whiteboard

Field notes

A baker kneads dough on a floured wooden counter

A bakery with two shifts moved its prep board to phones. What they kept, and what they dropped.

The board was the plan

Prep lists lived on a whiteboard by the ovens. The night shift could not see changes made in the afternoon.

One list, two shifts

Each shift now opens the same list on a phone at the start. Changes show up for both, with who made them.

They kept one habit from the whiteboard: a five-minute handover, standing up, at the start of each shift.
