PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act)

PDSA, which stands for Plan-Do-Study-Act, is a method used for continuous improvement in various projects or processes. First, you **Plan** what you want to change and how you’ll do it. Next, you **Do** the plan, putting your ideas into action. Then, you **Study** the results to see if the change worked and understand what happened. Finally, you **Act** based on what you learned—either implementing successful changes more broadly or refining your approach if it didn’t work. This cycle helps organizations make informed improvements through systematic testing and learning.
