Continuous improvement

Continuous improvement lets teams systematically step up their performance through regular evaluation and adjustments. To begin with, set up a balanced measurement system that tracks quantitative measures like project completion rates and qualitative aspects such as team satisfaction and collaboration effectiveness. Implement regular review cycles to examine your team processes, discuss challenges, and propose solutions that work best for you. For example, you may find that instead of having one large review session per week, shorter, more frequent reviews work better for your team.

Make improvement a natural part of team operations rather than a separate initiative. Encourage team members to identify enhancement opportunities during their daily work, and create simple ways to capture and act on these insights like setting up a shared digital document where team members can quickly jot down improvement ideas as they come up.
