If one stage did not work, simply begin again.</p> <p>Software teams execute PDCA loops when they launch new features via “feature flagging”. Feature flagging is the process of rolling out a new feature to a small subset of real customers in a limited test.

This allows you to determine how effective your plan was without company-wide effects.</li> <li><strong>Check</strong>: Next, look at the results your plan delivered. Did it work? Reflecting on the results of your plan is one of the most critical steps.</li> <li><strong>Act</strong>: If your plan worked, you can implement it on a larger scale.
