Continual Improvement Workbench
The Continual Improvement Workbench provides a consolidated view to plan, approve, monitor, and review improvements using a flexible user interface.
The workbench shows tile and list views of improvements in progress, under review, and in the backlog to help you plan and monitor improvements. The workbench can be customized for tasks such as planning meetings and providing status updates to stakeholders.
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Overview tab |
Shows two groups of improvements.
Use this section for daily monitoring and assessment of improvements being implemented, as well as those recently implemented that are in review. |
| Planning tab |
Lists two groups of improvements.
Use this section for ranking and prioritization of improvements in the Implement state, or in the backlog (improvement initiatives in Approved, Assess, Accepted, and New states, listed in that order).
Nota: Configuration changes
made to the Planning workbench are reset when the Planning workbench is reloaded. |
CIM Workbench Overview
The workbench Overview displays up to 12 improvement initiatives by default in a tile layout. Each tile shows the initiative name, percentage of completion, assignment, priority, and time left for completion.
| Badge name | Description |
|---|---|
| Complete | All tasks have been completed (100 % complete). |
| Overdue | Completion due date has passed. |
| Due soon | Less than 15% time is left until the due date. |
| On Hold | Improvement has been placed on hold. |
You can search improvements by keyword and sort them by rank, priority, due date, or effort estimate.
CIM Workbench Planning
The workbench Planning page enables you to prioritize your backlog using an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface, similar to sprint planning. The planned end date is color-coded in red or green to highlight the completion date of an improvement. You can search initiatives by keyword, move items up or down within a list, and group multiple items together.
