Continuous Improvement Planning

As a Manager/Leader, you will collaborate with the other members of your Continuous Improvement Leadership Team to analyze the information coming from the teams that are part of the program, line of business, or Agile Release Train that you have formed around and create a Growth Plan to help the teams to mature.

Attend the Continuous Improvement Readout and Planning Session for Leaders

This workshop is held every quarter (or at PI planning if your company is using SAFe®) for the Continuous Improvement Leadership Team to come together to review the multi-team data and organizational growth items and to also create a plan for the top 2-3 items you will work on as a team over the upcoming quarter/PI.
