The 60-Minute Process Bottleneck Finder

Work getting stuck in 'QA' or 'Code Review'? Find the friction points in your workflow and create action items.

About this session

When work consistently piles up in stages like QA or Code Review, team frustration grows and delivery slows down without a clear cause. This session guides a team to pinpoint exactly where handoffs fail and results in a list of specific, technical or process-based changes to clear the backlog.

Why it works

The structure shifts the focus from individual performance to the mechanics of the workflow, allowing people to speak candidly about friction points without assigning blame. By mapping the path of a single task, the group identifies hidden dependencies and consensus emerges naturally on which fix will have the highest impact.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic

Who it’s for
