Continuous improvement · The improvement log · Element

The expectation

What the change was expected to achieve, stated before it was made.

The part

What it is

An expectation recorded afterwards adjusts to the result, which makes the whole log decorative.

Being wrong is fine and useful. A pattern of over-optimistic expectations is itself a correctable finding.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
