Plan for weeks $1$ and $2$:

You will select a process to monitor and develop a monitoring tool.

With the data collected from the monitoring period, you will compile the data, analyze it$,$ and give a written description of the findings.

Directions for Part A:

Select a process to study $($see explanation below$).$

Develop a tool to collect data $($see explanation below$).$

Write a $1-2$ page paper that describes the process and how you will collect the data during Week $2.$

Submit$/$attach the paper $($as word document$)$ and collection tool to this assignment link.

Other comments: The "process" to study is: Something you can study about work or your personal life. It should be an area of performance you would

like to change.

Topic suggestions:

Select a work function$/$process at your current job to improve performance overall for the company or department.

If you are not employed at this time, develop a performance improvement strategy to improve something in your life or your family's life...for

example dental hygiene or laundry. Consider what needs to improve to make yourself the must have candidate for your next job interview.

Every household has a budget, at times the budget is met and at times it is not. Develop a plan to improve the household budget and save

money for a weekend getaway.

Keep it a simple topic that won't require complex data collection and change.

The "collection tool" varies depending on the data you are collecting. The following are some suggestions as to the type of data collection tool$/$form you

would develop:

A "yes$/$no$"$ form.

A "number of correct$/$incorrect items" form.

A "time spent on a task" form.

It is the way to identify areas for improvement when you analyze the data.
