- What outcomes do you want in the next 90 days?
- What happens in your business if this stays the same?
IMPACT - Quantifying Value
- What does this problem cost you per month?
- Where does it show up? (delays, rework, downtime)
- What metrics do you want to move?
URGENCY - Determining Timeline
- Why now and why not in six months?
- What happens if you delay?
- What deadline matters for you right now?
