FAQs
A3 reports are large, rectangular documents filled with a series of boxes that give further context to a complex problem. Think of an A3 diagram as the narrative of a problem; it has an introduction to the issue, a summary of its current state, and corrective actions for a desirable outcome.
While most of the A3 report examples you’ll see revolve around problem-solving, you can also leverage this tool for storyboarding, employee development plans, project proposals, and more.
“A3” refers to the size of paper used for the first A3 report templates developed by Toyota. Sheets of A3 paper are roughly 11 x 17 inches and are called tabloid or ledger size in the U.S.
In a pre-digital world, these huge sheets of paper were perfect for cramming in as much information as possible. Today, with infinitely-large virtual whiteboards like FigJam, the name refers more to the process than the medium on which it’s written.
The A3 process hinges on a methodology called PDCA—plan, do, check, act. PDCA encourages all team members to take a step back and fully identify the specific problem before taking action.
When you finally do take action, you’re not implementing the be-all-end-all solution; you’re testing a potential solution. Only after checking the results of your tests will you continue to implement your strategy.
A3 examples rely heavily on this cycle of thorough thought and action.
