Step 1: Define Your Direction

What does meaningful progress look like for the team?

What outcomes or changes are we hoping to achieve (not simply what we’ll create)?

• [ ] Do we all have the same destination in mind?

What would make us say, “This was time well spent”?

• [ ] Do we have a brief and clear purpose / vision / mission statement?

What are we currently measuring that might be disguising motion as progress?

• [ ] Have we clearly defined what “meaningful progress” looks like?
• [ ] Are we measuring outcomes or just activity?

<aside> ✍️

• Write 1–2 sentences describing where you’re trying to go, not what you’re trying to finish. </aside>

Step 2: Map What You Want to Protect

If it’s not protected, the system will overrun it.

What practices feel essential to our ability to work well?

• [ ] We protect time for learning.
• [ ] We defend deep work time from interruption.

Where are we constantly making accidental tradeoffs?

• [ ] Decisions that lead to changes in direction are explicit, not implicit
