Understand the work

Before the checklist

What this work is really for

Go-live proves only that the practice turned a process on. Adoption asks whether people can finish the work, handle exceptions, find support, and use fallback without creating hidden side systems.

If you are new to ownership

Ask the people doing the work to walk through one practice example that does not come from a real person. Look for duplicated steps, unclear ownership, recurring questions, and tasks still happening outside the new tool.

If you already run a practice

Compare current behavior with the original implementation decision so scope drift and permanent workarounds do not disappear into a smooth launch story.

Useful finished resultA 30-day meeting reviews one workflow, gathers aggregate friction and support themes, tests a sample exception, and records continue, revise, pause, or expand with owners and dates.

Start here

Immediate actions

Get oriented before doing the work.

Compare intended and observed work, not logins or general satisfaction.
Review recurring exceptions, support, learning, ownership, and fallback.
Limit the decision to the workflow and roles actually reviewed.

Make sure this fits

Use about thirty days after a bounded administrative software rollout with a documented intended workflow and owner.

Pause when

The review is being used as a security test, privacy analysis, accessibility audit, clinical validation, incident review, contract acceptance, or compliance determination.

Gather before you begin

The original implementation decision
A workflow owner
Aggregate observations, support themes, unresolved sample-data tests, and known workarounds

Why owners make time for this

Early review makes training, configuration, ownership, and process assumptions easier to change before duplicate work or an unsafe workaround becomes normal.

Guided process

Work through it, one decision at a time.

Finish well

Adapt, record, review

Leave a useful trail for the next person.

If your situation is different

Repeat the review after a major configuration change or before expanding to another workflow or role group.

What good looks like

People doing the work contribute
Friction, workarounds, support, training, exceptions, and fallback are visible
Each issue has an owner and next step
The decision is limited to reviewed scope

Common mistakes

Asking only whether people like the tool, counting logins as adoption, expanding before exceptions are understood, or treating training gaps as user failure.
