Common Best Practices related questions to be observed in examples
- The problem that we had and how it reflected on outcomes?
- What we have tried and how we eventually addressed the issue?
- Where the adopted practice and tools came from, particularly if that was from GN?
- Possible alternatives and, based on our experience, what did work and what did not work very well?
- What are the effects of this new practice and related tools on our work and outcomes?
- What can be applied directly and what should be customised or omitted?
- How other teams could make use of this and how we could help?
