The Problem Barrier Assessment Sheet is a structured thinking tool designed to help teams identify, surface, and work through the obstacles that prevent problems from being solved effectively.Many improvement efforts stall not because the problem is unclear, but because hidden barriers—organizational, cultural, technical, or behavioral—are never explicitly addressed. This form provides a disciplined way to pause, reflect, and document what is actually getting in the way before jumping to solutions.The assessment guides users to examine common categories of barriers, such as:<ul><li>Knowledge and skill gaps</li><li>Resource or time constraints</li><li>Authority and decision-making limitations</li><li>Data availability and accuracy issues</li><li>Cultural resistance or conflicting priorities</li></ul>By making these barriers visible, teams can:<ul><li>Reduce rework and false starts</li><li>Prevent stalled problem-solving cycles</li><li>Align leadership support with real needs</li><li>Build more realistic and executable improvement plans</li></ul>This form is especially valuable during structured problem solving, A3 development, kaizen events, and ongoing CI coaching, where teams need a practical way to address why progress has slowed or stopped—without assigning blame.The Problem Barrier Assessment Sheet helps teams move forward by focusing effort where it actually matters.
