What Needs to Be IMPROVED?(keep asking “Why” – 5 Ways)
Ask your team what needs to be improved What is it about their job that frustrates them? What causes rework? What patterns do they see?
Meet With Your Customers What do they perceive as the strengths of your
organization? What do they perceive as the weaknesses of your
organization? What frustrates them when dealing with your team? Do they have confidence in the finished product or are
they keeping subsystems to check on you?
You can’t improve what you don’t measure You need metrics to understand where you are starting
from and as a checkpoint along the way
