Guidelines

• Be specific: "Start daily standups" not "communicate more"
• Be behavioral: Focus on actions, not attitudes
• Balance: Aim for 3-5 items per category
• Celebrate Continues: Don't skip this section—recognize what's working
• Assign owners: Unowned actions don't happen
• One priority: If everything is important, nothing is
