Your problem on one sheet

A3 management process:
A3 is the name for a large sheet of paper (17″ x 11″). With the A3 technique, it is filled up with useful information. Space is intentionally limited to make sure only the most relevant information is shared.

I like the balance between a large sheet and having to fit everything on it.  By the end, it probably does not seem large.  I also suspect that being forced to review the sheet in public with everyone forces other decisions and assumptions out in the daylight; no hidden agendas.

I'd love to see someone use it or at least some real examples.  It'd be difficult to show up to a meeting at my company with one, but then again I once thought doing Agile at all would be impossible at an investment bank.
