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 have no fines. The creator can add the group’s own fine rules during setup, such as “Late to the weekly call – KSh 100”, and owners or admins can add, change or delete rules later.
A rule can be charged automatically for something Kaizen sees itself, like evidence not added by noon the next day or a shared weekly milestone that was missed. Other rules are applied by a member and approved by a different member. Kaizen records amounts and decisions; the group handles any payments outside the app.
Changing or deleting a rule only affects fines from then on. Fines already recorded keep their amount and stay in the ledger.
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.
