Most teams try to document everything before executing anything. That approach delays learning. In the first 30 days, focus on one high-risk process with recurring volume.
Week 1 maps failure points. Week 2 turns the process into a template. Week 3 introduces ownership and approval gates. Week 4 reviews cycle-time and bottleneck data for iteration.
This sequence produces visible wins quickly and creates an internal case for broader rollout.
