A room for your people
Kaizen groups are private and support up to fifteen members. A creator sets up the group and shares its invitation code. People request access, and an owner or admin approves membership.
Use a group for a university study circle, a professional learning routine or a shared project. Membership gives access to shared group activity and the member directory; private milestones remain visible only to their creator.
Agree on how you work
Choose a timezone and discuss what everyone expects: the kinds of commitments you will make, acceptable evidence, and how you will handle an obstacle. Nairobi’s timezone is the starting choice, and groups can choose another.
Keep feedback specific and respectful. A review should help someone understand whether their declared outcome was achieved and what remains to do.
Choose whether fines fit your group
New groups start with fines off. The creator can enable them during setup, and owners or admins can change the setting later. When enabled, the group chooses amounts for missing evidence and missed weekly milestone deadlines.
Members can also propose a manual fine when fines are enabled. An independent member reviews the proposal. Kaizen records amounts and decisions; the group handles any payments outside the app.
Disabling fines stops new fines. Earlier records remain available, and enabling fines again does not automatically charge for deadlines that passed while fines were off.
Make review a habit
A short weekly conversation helps the group learn from its records. Celebrate useful progress, discuss commitments that slipped, and agree on a realistic next step. You do not need fines to use Kaizen’s goals, check-ins or peer reviews.
