If any of this sounds familiar, the quiz is for you

It takes me forever.

I'm not always sure I'm doing it right.

I know we discussed this before, but I can't find the decision.

If the person who handles minutes left tomorrow, we'd be in trouble.

You're not alone, and it's usually the process that needs attention, not the person. The quiz helps you see where you stand, notice the process or workload risks you may be carrying, and leave with concrete next steps.
