KJ Method

In English-speaking contexts, the KJ method is often referred to as the Affinity Diagram. However, from my perspective as native Japanese reading Jiro Kawakita’s work in Japanese, the introduction of the KJ method in English as part of the “Seven Management and Planning Tools” appears to have oversimplified and omitted important elements, resulting in a completely different methodology.
