It provides the concentrations of strengths and weaknesses and displays significant performance categorical information. 
Additionally, the radar chart provides various perceptions of all the team members associated with the organization.  ]]> 2021-05-16 03:43:02 UTC https://padlet.com/wxling19/xr97mckgy37w3l8r/wish/1527767559 How it works wxling19 https://padlet.com/wxling19/xr97mckgy37w3l8r/wish/1527768081 As described in the text, “it is critical to get varied perspectives to avoid organizational blindspots.” (p. 178). 

  1. Assemble the right team/raters
  2. Select and define the rating  categories 
  3. Construct the chart 
  4. Rate all performance categories
  5. Connect team ratings for each category 
  6. Interpret and use the results

In addition, it allows the team rating highly visible to the radar chart and provides the ability to differentiate individual ratings. ]]> 2021-05-16 03:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/wxling19/xr97mckgy37w3l8r/wish/1527768311 Description wxling19 https://padlet.com/wxling19/xr97mckgy37w3l8r/wish/1527768749 Data points allow us to turn data into information (p. 71).

Then, the collection of data suggests the basic sampling methods which include random, sequential, and stratified data groups. (p. 71)

Moreover, stratified data allows you to break down information in subcategories and classifications. It is also essential to understand the various patternistic distributions such as the mean, median, mode, range and standard deviation.

Also, in the types of data you can find the number of correct answers on a test or whether it is pass or fail.

Therefore the data is shown in time order. 

The time progress is shown on the x-axis. On the y axis, we would display the values being recorded. Each of the axes requires the use of a suitable and consistent scale.

The other component of a run chart is the central line, also referred to as the average line or the median line (the value that divides your data in two).

  • Decide on the process performance measure that you want to examine. 
  • Gather some data, at least 20 to 25 data points (Brassard & Ritter, 2018). This will help to detect meaningful patterns. 
  • Create a cartesian plane with x and y axes. The y-axis represents the variable you are measured. The x-axis represents time.
  • Plot the data.
  • Interpret the data

This helps measure and monitor performance and look for trends and patterns of one or more processes over time.
    (detect trends, shifts, or cycles). 

    They allow for  comparison of performance measure before and after implementing a solution to measure its impact.

    They help us to focus attention on significant changes in the process.

    They also help us track helpful information that can be a predictor of future events or outcomes.]]>     2021-05-16 03:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/wxling19/xr97mckgy37w3l8r/wish/1527770154     How to use a Matrix Diagram wxling19 https://padlet.com/wxling19/xr97mckgy37w3l8r/wish/1527770510 2021-05-16 03:46:42 UTC https://padlet.com/wxling19/xr97mckgy37w3l8r/wish/1527770510 Interpretation eonade19 https://padlet.com/wxling19/xr97mckgy37w3l8r/wish/1527888144 Focus on the vital changes or meaningful trends/patterns, rather than each and every data variation.
