- Review your goals from the Research step; are there observations available to support or substantiate you have achieved each of the goals?
- If you do not have metrics to substantiate each goal return to the Observe step and adjust your metrics collection
- If your observations cannot support the achievement of a goal, do they suggest what needs to be changed?
- Do you need to gather different metrics, adjust the goal or expectation?
- Do you have access to all the solutions you need in order to meet the goal (i.e. is more licensing required)?
- If you have met each of your goals what is the next step for you? In Research we set the goal to crawl->walk→run, described the crawl→walk→run adoption methodology; what's the next step for your organization?
- Gather these notes regarding your Observations and use these to fee into a new implementation of the Research step.
- You need not run this process non-stop. Many organizations do it just once or twice a year, essentially extending the Observation step to gather longer metrics and give their teams more time to absorb the product line and make improvements to processes.
