The Problem Barrier Assessment Sheet is a practical reflection tool that helps teams identify why problems aren’t moving forward, even when the issue itself seems clear.Instead of jumping straight into countermeasures, this assessment encourages users to step back and document the barriers that limit progress, such as missing skills, unclear authority, lack of data, or competing priorities. Making these challenges explicit helps teams avoid frustration and misaligned expectations.This version is free for members, including those enrolled in the Jumpstart membership, and provides an accessible way to introduce structured thinking around stalled improvement efforts.Teams commonly use this form to:<ul><li>Clarify why improvement work has slowed or stopped</li><li>Improve communication between teams and leaders</li><li>Set more realistic expectations for problem-solving timelines</li><li>Build awareness of systemic constraints</li></ul>It works well alongside basic problem-solving tools and can be used independently or as part of a larger continuous improvement effort.
