Continuous Improvement
In plain terms
An ongoing effort to incrementally better processes.
Going deeper
Continuous improvement (kaizen) is the practice of regularly making small enhancements to work and processes over time. Small gains compound.
Under the hood
Driven by retrospectives and feedback loops; a cultural mindset, not a one-off project.
Examples
Kaizen, retrospectives, process refinement, Agile culture, lean.
Think of it like...
Like an athlete making tiny refinements every session that add up to big gains.
