Purposedifferent | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. | When a sprint should not only be assessed but also learned from, it captures experience in clear learning categories. It records what worked, what's missing, and what should run differently next time. | When a team's or workshop's mood needs to become readable, it structures emotional signals with little setup. It makes strain, relief, and sources of energy tangible. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. |
