This worksheet guides individuals in selecting and scoping a change idea prior to testing it to ensure that it is well-suited for rapid learning through Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles.
The Plan-Do-Study-Act process is a form of disciplined inquiry that involves conducting mini-experiments to test and refine a change idea designed to improve specific outcomes. To effectively engage in a PDSA cycle, it is important to start by identifying a clear, testable change idea.
This reflection guide offers considerations to support improvers in defining their change idea so that it is specific and amenable to testing, preparing them to learn through inquiry cycles.
