Improvement Action (IA) Journey Guide in Lean Agile Intelligence (LAI)

Lean Agile Intelligence

Welcome to the new Improvement Action Journey in Lean Agile Intelligence. This guide will help you utilize LAI to transform and enhance your approach to improvement actions within your organization.

Getting Started

Starting Point: Insight Canvas

  • Purpose: Begin every Improvement Action (IA) at the Insight Canvas.

  • Usage: Utilize data to make informed decisions on focusing your improvement efforts. Leverage our Coaching Assistance for deeper insights.

Decision Making: Marking Goals and Impediments

  • Choices: Mark a capability as either a 'Goal' (a challenge your team can tackle) or an 'Impediment' (something beyond your team’s control).

Creating Improvement Actions

  1. Access: After marking a capability, proceed to the 'Create Improvement Action' screen.

  2. Integration with Jira: IAs created will automatically populate in your configured Jira project. Alternatively, link to external backlog management tools or use the Improvement Action Dashboard.

  3. Action Creation: Fill in the required fields and click 'Save Improvement Action (IA) and Mark as Goal/Impediment' to add or manage your IAs.

  4. Managing Status: The 'Unmark as Goal' button is disabled for open IAs linked to a capability. It's enabled once the IA is closed, applicable to both Goals and Impediments.

Intelligent System Features

  • Automatic Marking: Adding Improvement Actions to a capability will automatically mark the capability based on the IA type, e.g., creating an 'Impediment' type IA marks the capability as an Impediment.

Assessment Integration

  • Review Prompt: Launching an assessment with open IAs linked to any capability prompts a review.

  • Review Process: In the review screen, close your IAs or refresh them in bulk, especially for Jira-integrated teams.

Conclusion

This Improvement Action Journey has been designed to empower your teams with clarity and control, ensuring data-driven decisions and actions for impactful outcomes. LAI is your solution for showcasing and verifying improvement plans.
