The public works work-order ART schedules Inspect and Adapt in the last hour of the Innovation and Planning iteration, leaving no time for a problem-solving workshop. What should the RTE protect?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Cramming Inspect and Adapt into the last hour is like trying to hold a town-hall and a root-cause clinic in a lunch break. The IP iteration is supposed to give the work-order train a real timebox for demo, metrics, and problem-solving. Guard that block or the ART just keeps paving over the same potholes.
Full Explanation
The Innovation and Planning iteration exists in part so Inspect and Adapt can be run as a significant, timeboxed event rather than a leftover hour. A complete I&A includes the PI System Demo, quantitative and qualitative measurement review, and a retrospective with a structured problem-solving workshop. The RTE protects that cadence so improvement items are identified before the next PI Planning, instead of collapsing I&A into a status meeting or skipping it when operational tickets remain.
