Again, I apologize for going so long between posts.  Getting busy and taking a week to go to Connecticut with my father are my excuses.

We've been talking about metrics so let's assume you have developed a set of measures you're happy with.

The next step is to develop a calendar.

Here's what's going to go on your calendar:

1. Regular day and time for Steering Committee meetings.
2. An "all employee meeting" to announce the agile initiative.
3. Deadlines for full development of the metrics.
4. Regular all employee meetings to keep everyone updated on the agile initiative.
5. Several action workshops for 5S and quick change.
6. Development of a Value Stream Map (maybe two).

More about each of these in subsequent posts.
