Guided Assessment

What can your team prove today?

Check the box only if the evidence is consistently visible in the operating rhythm.

Production output is inconsistent week to week.

Evidence examples

• No stable production rhythm.
• Backlog is growing without clear recovery plan.
• Workload is visible only after issues occur.

PM reporting does not clearly answer workload, production, and backlog.

Evidence examples

• Reports show activity but not decisions.
• Engineering due dates are not consistently established.
• Leaders cannot quickly see how much work is left.

Quality issues or rework are increasing.

Evidence examples

• Error logs show repeat issues.
• Technical oversight is reactive.
• Review process creates bottlenecks instead of learning.
