Process frequency

Data quality

Data quality is treated as a separate check point: value, data, effort, control, and error handling need to fit together.

Approvals

Approvals is treated as a separate check point: value, data, effort, control, and error handling need to fit together.

Integrations

Integrations is treated as a separate check point: value, data, effort, control, and error handling need to fit together.

Operation

Operation is treated as a separate check point: value, data, effort, control, and error handling need to fit together.

Typical limits

  • First solution too largeFirst solution too large should be clarified before the start so that the test works not only technically but also in daily operation.
  • Unclear responsibilityUnclear responsibility should be clarified before the start so that the test works not only technically but also in daily operation.
  • Weak data qualityWeak data quality should be clarified before the start so that the test works not only technically but also in daily operation.

Next step

The next step is a diagnosis of the first process.
