Continuous Improvement¶
Every process can improve. Every team can improve.
Sustainable systems outperform individual heroics. Improvement should be documented, shared, and measurable.
The Loop¶
Measure → Analyse → Improve → Validate → Repeat
What Good Looks Like¶
- Regular retrospectives at team and department level
- Improvement actions are tracked and followed up
- Learning is visible and shared
- Mistakes lead to system improvements, not blame
Retrospective Levels¶
- Team — every sprint
- Incident — after every significant incident
- Architecture — periodically for significant decisions
- Department — quarterly
Anti-Patterns¶
- Repeating known issues without addressing root causes
- Retrospectives with no follow-up actions
- Resistance to change
- Improvement dependent on individual heroics
