Purposedifferent | For an acute quality or delivery problem, the method structures immediate protection and root cause work together. It keeps the situation stable while the actual cause is investigated cleanly. | When a sprint is over and friction shouldn't simply be carried forward, it opens the view onto collaboration and patterns. It creates space to see causes and changes together. |
Complexitydifferent | High | Low |
Timedifferent | 1-6 Wochen | Up to 3 hours for a one-month Sprint; shorter Sprints are usually shorter |
