Simplify the flow of work before the next piece of software
New software on a tangled process makes the tangle faster. See the rework first.
Rework is the most expensive hidden habit
Rework is not always a mistake. It is often the effect of a process in which two units build the same data apart, or an approval that changes no decision.
Simplifying means removing steps that reduce neither risk nor quality. Every step should answer one question: if it disappeared, what harm would remain?
Fit the structure to the real work
If the org chart does not match the flow of work, coordination meetings multiply and ownership disappears. The division of work should be tied to an output, not to a title.
A procedure is alive when someone works with it. A document in a drawer is not a system.
Tools come after simplicity
A management system seated on simple operations lasts. The reverse is an expensive software project whose users build a bypass around it.
On Rahnegasht projects, the process model and the removal of waste come before the talk of tools.
This chart is a teaching model for the argument, not a survey result.
| Question | If yes |
|---|---|
| Does it reduce a named risk? | Keep it and name an owner |
| Does it create new data? | Keep it and make it the single source |
| Neither? | Remove it or merge it |
