Obeya (from Japanese 大部屋 "large room" or "war room") refers to a form of project management used in Asian companies (including Toyota) and is a component of lean manufacturing and in particular the Toyota Production System. I just call it the Brain Space, because it is a place set aside for thinking and planning process improvement. You can download a free article on Brain Space from the BOOKS AND OTHER TOOLS page.
An Obeya will contain visually engaging charts and graphs depicting such information as program timing, milestones and progress-to-date and solutions to existing issues.
