What process is the team using?
Where is the real data?
Process “manuals” quickly become
out-of-date
Process alone does not bridge gaps

Over the past few weeks, teams have done extraordinary work getting bugs resolved, triaging hard, and
consistently getting closer and closer to meeting our milestone exit criteria. Ask mode has helped in keeping the
builds working, and we're ready to start group checkins, after the mass integration last week (Lab21, Lab22 and
Lab25 RI'ed in one day!). However, this is about a week and a half behind the original schedule.

information directly (such as the plan of record, defect trends, and other reports), it also serves as a launching

Process automates transitions between

Your team is on the same page
You can view the data the way you want
Using the tools you want

While others view their data in their tools
Status meetings become tactics meetings

NO: Where are you on that?
NO: When do you think you’ll be done?
YES: How can we address the road blocks in
your way?
