Give Each KPT Experiment an Action and Review Date
KPT stands for Keep, Problem, and Try: practices to continue, problems observed, and changes to test. Its useful output is an executable experiment beyond three filled columns.
Describe events and conditions rather than judging people. Add an owner and review date to the change, then examine its result.
Describe Concrete Situations in Keep and Problem
JaSST material presents KPT around continuation, problems, and subsequent trials. (JaSST 2019: Review and KPT materials) Record the practice and context for Keep, and the event and impact for Problem.
Use actual events such as supplying review material early or returning a request with missing data. Keep uncertain causes labeled as assumptions.
Define Try as a Small Output with an Owner
Turn improve coordination into an action such as agreeing required fields and a sharing date. Check the owner’s capacity and authority.
Limit experiments to relevant questions. A useful Keep practice can also be tested in another context.
Start the Next Review with the Experiment’s Result
Review the change in the problem alongside execution. If the result is unclear, revise the test conditions or measures.
A missing explanation in public instructions can become a Try item, with a website update owner and defined content.
