What Is a Plus Delta Chart?
The plus delta chart is a feedback and assessment tool frequently used in continuous improvement to help teams or individuals reflect on projects they worked on, particularly on what worked and didn’t, what needs to be changed, etc. The Pluses refer to the positives, or what brought value and needs to be continued. The DeItas help identify the problems, things that need to be improved, or dropped.
How to Create a Plus Delta Chart?
- Gather information about the things that went well and need to be continued, as well as things that didn’t go well and require improvement.
- As the next step, have a plus delta chart ready. Save time with an existing template on Creately. Add everyone as collaborators, so even if your team joins the meeting remotely, they can still provide their input on the canvas.
- Explain what pluses and deltas are to the participants. Pluses should always include what succeeded and should be repeated. Deltas should include items that need to be improved.
- Ideas added to the chart on both sides can be organized as low, medium, and high priority, so it’s easier to identify which ones you should work on first.
- Ensure that everyone participates. Do this by going around the table, giving each individual an opportunity to add a plus or delta.
- At the beginning of the next meeting, review the progress of the ideas in your prior plus/delta chart. Accordingly, discuss the next set of steps.
