Application of the Discover Datasheets
The starting point was with the goal in mind.The types of data included reviewing the system of nominations for course design, determining how many courses were expired or expiring soon and needed to be re-designed (as a priority) and how many courses overall could be worked into the upcoming design cycle. But, going back to the starting point, there was an expectation that more applications would be submitted under the new Application (vs nomination) process for re-design or design. This hasn't happened yet -- so more feedback is needed.
Lessons Learned
A seemingly flawless system or process may have areas of concern or need to be tweaked.
Feedback is crucial.
As the architect and facilitator of the Discover step, I listened and clarified as needed.
Thanks for sharing these observations, Rhonda. I would be interested in hearing more about the flawless plan with areas that need to be tweaked, and on the importance of feedback. It would be great if you could provide examples of these.

ReplyDeleteRhonda,
ReplyDeleteCan the datasheets help you discover potential gaps in understanding, differences in need, conflicting goals or other relevant information that might impact the number of incoming applications. Try not to look at perfecting the process but place more focus on understanding the needs. You are doing a great job!
