It shows where work is passed on, delayed, or duplicated, so improvement targets the right spots. | After a project phase with mixed results, the method makes learning from the individual case reusable. It connects events, decisions, and systemic conditions into robust insights. | When a team wants to read momentum, brakes, and risks together, it offers an easily understandable picture of the situation.
