Reaction card for offering constructive suggestions to improve drafts.

Quality measures in delivery include escaped defects, customer satisfaction, production rollbacks, and unplanned downtime, balancing too little and too much quality focus.

Focus on delivering changes quickly while balancing quality and prioritizing valuable features, with metrics like Time in State, Cycle Time, and Lead Time to measure efficiency.

Measure the flow of raw work product to balance demand and supply while maintaining quality and focusing on valuable features through metrics like throughput and velocity.

Resilience in development and delivery systems is assessed through a "happiness" metric, indicating potential performance declines when teams overly focus on other metrics.

Value assessment measures customer satisfaction and alignment to strategy while balancing immediate tasks and long-term goals to avoid technical debt.

Consistency in delivery pace is crucial to avoid periods of low customer value and ensure process improvement without risk.

The Six Dimensions of Performance emphasizes balancing competing forces in organizations to avoid oversimplification and hidden costs while ensuring effective processes and sustainability.

Practices are adaptable, experience-based approaches for solving recurring work system problems, emphasizing common sense and contextual application.

Principles are foundational rules that guide decision-making in organizations, allowing for tailored solutions to unique challenges.

Network patterns are visual archetypes that help teams understand relationships and information flow in a system, using tools like the Net-Map Toolbox for mapping and intervention.
