While everyone likes the idea of radiating information instead of creating lots of reports, many teams aren’t working in a way that actually allows information to be radiated. Other teams could but haven’t found a good way to actually radiate the information. Both situations leave in you a position where creating reports can take a great deal of time and effort without producing a lot of value or even transparency. Any small step we can take to make information more transparent and more meaningful simply in the way we organize our work is a worthwhile investment. When teams organize their work around the goal of transparency and accountability, it reduces the dependence on costly reporting which frees more time for doing the actual work.
