Teams often tend to not update the Action Plan, which can be a source of mistakes and misunderstanding. In some cases it helps to use a digital Action Plan projected on the wall during a workshop filling in tasks together with the team.Įmphasize the importance of an always updated Action Plan. Name the exact dates or calendar weeks on the Action Plan. Use color coding of the post-its or use initials to differentiate between team members when delegating tasks. A rule of thumb: Tasks, which need not more than 2-3 work days to accomplish. Don't describe them on a too granular level. Tasks need to be defined precisely and in simple words. This helps focus and anticipate what's coming. Do not forget to then update the Hypotheses & Experiments and the Lean Offerings templates.ĭefining, delegating and tracking tasks that a project teams needs get done within an iterationĪt the beginning of an iteration, fill in already the D-Day and other workshops.

Speak openly about your observations on how the teams performs and what can be improved. Reflect with the project team every week how the team members are doing.
Make assumptions but update frequently and be realistic. In the very beginning you will not be able to clearly define what the tangible outcome could be after 10 weeks.

We usually spend half a day figuring out whether and how to improve both your business model and market offerings - step by step. This depends on the complexity of the business model and the investment needed to realise it.ĭo not forget to reflect on what you have achieved after each cycle. Sometimes we jump right into the implementation of the lean offerings without any pre-launch tests. In some cases, we focus entirely on running experiments and building “social prototypes” in the first instance. We encourage you to start implementing your ideas quite quickly. Make sure you create something tangible after each cycle. Adapt the number of weeks per cycle to match what is appropriate for your industry. The Action Plan template is a very simple but effective way to organise your execution in order to implement your business model / lean offerings and run your experiments in short cycles. This statement may sound trivial, but execution is still one of the biggest hurdles for many corporations, preventing them from becoming successful innovators. Ideas are worth nothing, unless they are executed.
