1) What is the Target Condition?
2) What is the Actual Condition now?
--------(Turn Card Over)--------------------->
3) What Obstacles do you think are preventing you from reaching the target condition?
Which *one* are you addressing now?
4) What is your Next Step?(Next experiment) What do you expect?
5) How quickly can we go and see what weHave Learned from taking that step?
