Enable Strategy Lab
Start-Stop-Continue
A simple team or process review - what to start doing, stop doing, and keep doing.
Not every review needs a heavy framework. Start-Stop-Continue is one of the simplest, fastest team or process reviews available: three honest lists. Start is what you're not doing yet but should be. Stop is what's happening now that isn't working and should end. Continue is what's genuinely working and shouldn't be touched, if only so it doesn't get lost in the rush to fix everything else. Run it after a project, at the end of a quarter, or as a simple recurring team retro - name the review, fill in the three columns, and export a clean summary everyone can act on.
Included in All Access, or unlock it on its own.

Start-Stop-Continue
One big, awkward annual review surfaces feedback too late and too rarely to actually change anything day to day. Start-Stop-Continue replaces it with three honest lists, run regularly, that catch issues while they're still small and easy to fix. Stick with the annual format instead and problems fester for months before anyone's officially allowed to raise them.
- 1.Three Lists, Not One ArgumentWhy splitting a review into Start, Stop, and Continue produces better feedback than an open-ended "how are we going?"
- 2.Why "Continue" MattersThe column most reviews skip entirely - and why leaving it out quietly costs you good things you didn't mean to lose.
- 3.Pick Something to ReviewName a project, quarter, or process that just wrapped up - or is due for a regular check-in.
- 4.Quick CheckA few questions to lock in what you just covered.
- 5.Run Your ReviewTurn the project, quarter, or process you named into a clean three-column summary, ready to act on.
