The idea of OK

Recently at work, I found members sitting idle on a task longer than planned. This pattern happens when they’re in a project for more than 2 to 3 weeks.

During the first few weeks, information pile up quickly. Over flooded with information on the project, judgement becomes more difficult because the considerations increased.

The idea of OK is not compromise to a lower standard, but to create frequent micro failures that slightly brings up the quality of work each time.

A 10 minute review is held when a member reached a quality they believe is OK. Not good, not great, just OK. The checkpoint creates an incremental improvement in quality of work.

Three OK turns it to good, three good turns it to great.
