A waste walk is a gateway to discovering what is impacting your team the most, draining the time, effort and attention away from the project. It builds awareness, creating a grounded, fact-based case for improvement. It also generates a detailed impact analysis and business case — business cost in terms of lost productivity (expressed in hours and financial terms). The readout activity is a guided retrospective that focuses the team on specific, prioritized areas of improvement. Pair your waste walk with the readout.
