Many project meetings at Axis were routinely held on a dry-erase board. During the duration of ongoing projects, a whiteboard would be reserved for each critical project. Because many projects run in parallel, this created a logistical problem of maintaining and storing many analog boards. Content was also problematic, with sticky notes falling off and drawings inadvertently erased.
Worse yet, the content of each board was not secured. Some dry-erase whiteboards could be locked in a room, but that meant the room became unusable for other teams. The Axis team actively sought an improvement in their workflow.
