A3 Report Best Practices

An A3 Report is a tool used by team leaders and managers to document a set of key data points and important information needed for ongoing progress checks and decision-making. When an A3 Report is created, it helps to simplify project reporting because it pulls necessary information together from numerous more detailed progress reports. A3 Reports condense multiple sources of information into a single page and communicate that information using data visualizations like charts and concise bullet points. The A3 Report got its name from the metric paper size the report is typically produced on.

Description of A3 Report

In order to create a 2×2 Matrix, pick a number of different combinations of variables and dimensions to discuss and explore (e.g., business impact, cost, quality, ease of implementation, etc.). When focused on strategy or innovation, for example, you might create a 2×2 with “business impact” and “ease of implementation” as the variables (axes). Then, plot various products or services onto the 2×2, ideally forcing a distribution. Next, determine where relationships between the two dimensions lie by observing the characteristics of the groups that begin to form. Discussions can be spurred by considering what quadrants are empty or full and why, what quadrants were expected to fill up but didn’t, etc. Doing this will illuminate why the two dimensions are or are not related and valuable to contrast as the axes of the 2×2. In many cases, discussions based on the matrix are more valuable than the matrix itself and can act as the basis for the next variables to be tested within the 2×2.
