Image Transparency is the backbone of empiricism, which is the foundation of Scrum. Without transparency, inspection and adaptation are pointless. The higher the transparency you have in your team, the better. Bear in mind that all Scrum Team members are responsible for keeping the transparency high.

A Team Wall is a practice to keep all the main information of the team at the project level in a single place.
Team Wall BlocksThese are the suggested items that you can have on your Team Wall:
Team CompositionTeam AgreementsDefinition of DoneImprovement BoardImpediment BoardTechnical Debt BoardParking Lot (for questions, ideas, blockers, …)Celebration / Kudos SectionAgile Maturity ScansScrum Values Adherence
You can add other pieces of information to your Team Wall as well, based on your context.
Tip 1: Nowadays, since remote work is the accepted way to collaborate, choose an online collaboration tool to create your Team Wall. My suggestion is Miro or Mural. They are really great options.

Why it matters
Projects rarely fail on the day they are declared failed. They fail months earlier, in a meeting where somebody saw the problem coming and calculated it was not in their interest to say so. Everything else — the slipping schedule, the stretching budget — is the visible consequence of that silence.
What I look at first in a case like this is not the plan, it is how often it gets corrected. A project that replans every month with fresh data lands far closer than one that spends a year defending the baseline it signed when it knew least.
What usually goes wrong
What I see fail most is the absent sponsor. They sign the kick-off, appear in the photo, and do not come back until there is a problem. Without somebody with real authority clearing obstacles every fortnight, the project manager ends up negotiating as an equal with areas that do not report to them, and loses.
What to watch
- Which risks are identified, who owns each one, and when they were last reviewed.
- The size of the first useful delivery: the further out it is, the more it resembles a bet.
- How it was estimated and how close the same organisation's previous estimates turned out to be.
How I read this entry
I would use it to review how the organisation estimates. If historical estimates were systematically out by half and nobody adjusted the method, no project will land well: you are planning with a ruler that measures short and blaming the team for not reaching the mark.
