Continuous Improvement

Overview

This skill defines a systematic approach to identifying, implementing, and measuring small incremental improvements. Big improvements come from many small continuous changes, not occasional major overhauls.

When to Use

• After completing any task (retrospective improvement identification)
• When reviewing processes or systems regularly
• When feedback suggests improvements needed
• When metrics show declining or suboptimal performance
• Don't use when: System is fundamentally broken and needs redesign (use incident-response instead)
