Taking action to find direction in a project

The situation

They were working on a new project and felt lost about where to go next. They had been inspired by something they saw, but didn't know how to apply its ideas. They wanted the project to guide them and tell them what to do, like a schedule. They had tried to think deeply about it before, but ended up retreating and coming back to the starting point. They were looking for a way to make progress and find direction. They had a lot of ideas and information, but didn't know how to organize them or move forward.

What they weighed

• Act on the message and verify the result

  Chosen

• Keep it as context when no action is called for

What they decided

Act on the message and verify the result

Why

They decided to act on the message because they had heard something that seemed relevant to their project. They also had a guide that showed them where to go next, based on a chosen goal. They wanted to verify the result and see if it would help them find direction. They were motivated by the idea of making progress and achieving their goals.

The first step

They would start working on the project and use the guide to help them. They would also verify the result and see if it was helpful.

How they would know it worked

They would measure success by whether the project was making progress and whether they felt more directed. They would also look at whether the guide was helpful in guiding them.

How it turned out
