Step | Action items |

Establish regular cadences for improvement | For example, sprint or monthly retrospectives for teams, quarterly retros for a program, and blameless post-mortems after incidents. |
Use visual trackers | (like a Kanban board for improvement ideas) to ensure continuous improvement actions are captured and executed. |
