View source for Assessing an Idea

[[category:Lean]]
Every idea should be qualified by these four things, in this order

* Safety
* Quality
* Simplicity
* Speed

=Safety=
Improvements should not affect safety at all in any negative way. If safety levels stay the same or get better, it's good!

=Quality=
This is the next criteria to look. At this point you know it's either safer or just as safe as before, now has quality improved? 

=Simplicity=
Next is simplicity, ask yourself is the idea simpler than it is before? Now it could be slightly more complicated, but improve quality and safety greatly. This list is a hierarchy, so those trump these lower items.

=Speed=
This is actually at the bottom of the list, speed is the least important piece of criteria. Is it faster than it was before? If so, you're good!
