Information Radiator

A prominently placed physical board or screen that broadcasts up-to-date project information to the wider organization, letting people get real-time insights without interrupting the team.

Key Points

  • Designed for transparency: anyone can quickly see status, progress, and issues.
  • Highly visible and easy to scan, using simple visuals like charts, boards, and indicators.
  • Continuously maintained by the team so information is current and trustworthy.
  • Reduces status interruptions and meetings by enabling self-service stakeholder updates.

Example

An agile team places a large board near their workspace showing the Kanban flow, WIP limits, blocked items, sprint goals, a burn-down chart, and build status. Stakeholders walk by or open the digital mirror to see progress and risks without pinging the team.

PMP Example Question

Which artifact best exemplifies an information radiator?

  1. A weekly status report emailed to all stakeholders
  2. A knowledge base that requires users to search for updates
  3. A large, always-visible dashboard showing sprint progress, blockers, and build health
  4. A private team chat channel for discussing daily work

Correct Answer: C — Information radiator

Explanation: An information radiator is a highly visible, continuously updated display that lets stakeholders see current status without interrupting the team; weekly emails, searchable repositories, and private chats do not meet this purpose.
