Turn experience from real work into reusable process knowledge.
PEDCO captures experience from customer endeavors as reusable process knowledge — proposing corresponding process changes, collecting examples, and embedding customer-specific extensions into the process framework.
- One endeavor solves a problema useful practice, a workable template, a concrete example
- Structured as reusable know-hownot left as local tribal knowledge
- Embedded in the process frameworkprocess changes · examples · customer-specific extensions
Good practices are discovered locally — and usually stay there.
Teams solve problems, create useful examples, or improve a practice, but the wider organization never benefits. The Process Improvement Service does more than record a practice: it proposes corresponding process changes, collects examples, and embeds customer-specific extensions into the framework.
Transfer practical experience from individual endeavors into the organizational process so that the wider community can benefit.
Five steps from experience to embedded process.
Capture experience
Identify useful practices, examples, and lessons from real endeavors.
Structure the know-how
Turn the experience into reusable process knowledge rather than leaving it as local tribal knowledge.
Propose process changes
Identify where the process framework should change to reflect the learning.
Add examples
Use concrete examples to make the process easier for others to understand and apply.
Embed approved extensions
Incorporate the customer-specific improvement into the process framework.
