A3 countermeasure
How should a team recover an initiative that remains off track?
Template preview
Start with a clear working structure.
The A3 countermeasure turns a recurring piece of work into a record that another person can understand and continue. The working view makes background, impact, and problem visible so discussion can move from general opinion to a specific action or decision.
Include only context that changes the work; separate verified facts, assumptions, constraints, and unresolved questions. Use explicit criteria rather than intuition alone, and preserve the reason that one item ranks above another. Complete the remaining items so the section is ready for review and use.
Define the measure, formula or evidence source, baseline, target, owner, cadence, and decision it can change. Name the person or role, distinguish accountability from contribution, and state the next commitment they own. Complete the remaining items so the section is ready for review and use.
