Continuous Improvement (Kaizen)
Category: Lean Principles
Principle Intent
Build a culture of ongoing, incremental improvement where everyone contributes to making the system better. Improvement should be habitual, not episodic.
How to Apply This Principle
This principle is part of the Entrowise Principles Library and is used in the PPA Method to diagnose recurring delivery problems and develop principle-aligned actions. When this principle is violated, delivery teams often experience recurring symptoms that resist solution because the root cause—the violated principle—is never addressed directly.
