1. Start by identifying problems and observations

❕ We don't worry about root cause analysis in Popcorn flow. Without training, it's hard to do and it slows us down. Instead, we encourge more doing and more learning. Anecdotal observations are fine!
Examples problems and observations:
"We seem to always be playing catch up"
"We keep changing direction"
"We are not getting feedback from customers"

2. Add options

❕ Options are one-line ideas of what we can do to address the problem or observation. Try to have at least three options for any one problem or observation.
Example options:
Reduce WiP
Reset on our goals and strategy
Do a site visit
