Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA)

A repeating management cycle that helps organizations control their work and drive ongoing improvement in processes and products.

Key Points

  • Iterative loop focused on continuous improvement and control of processes and outputs.
  • Four steps: Plan (define change and metrics), Do (try it on a small scale), Check (analyze results), Act (standardize or adjust and repeat).
  • Data-driven learning: decisions are based on measured outcomes, not assumptions.
  • Works well with agile practices and Kaizen for frequent, incremental enhancements.

Example

A Scrum team wants to cut build time. Plan: set a goal to reduce builds from 15 to 10 minutes and choose metrics. Do: enable parallel tests and cache dependencies for two sprints. Check: compare average build times and failure rates. Act: keep the changes if targets are met; otherwise adjust the approach and start the next PDCA cycle.
