### Mifumo ya Majaribio #1 — Bila kutambulika · Madhu's (0 kura za kuunga mkono)

- **Wigo:** Pilot the integrated workflow on event quoting, contracts, payment schedules, venue coordination, and employee record administration for one operating unit.
- **Muda:** A 6- to 10-week pilot is appropriate for one end-to-end event workflow plus employee administration setup.
- **KPI Zilizopendekezwa:** Track quote turnaround time, contract completion time, percentage of event workflows handled without spreadsheets, employee administration time saved, and payment reminder completion rates.
- **Vigezo vya mafanikio:** The pilot succeeds if events can be quoted and documented more consistently, employee administration moves out of spreadsheets, and teams can manage venue and payment workflows from a shared system.
- **Mitego ya kawaida:** Common pitfalls include leaving exceptions outside the workflow, failing to model venue-specific pricing rules, and retaining spreadsheet-based HR side processes.
- **Ahadi ya rasilimali:** Requires an operations owner, event-sales staff, HR or people admin support, and light implementation help to map pricing logic, documents, and employee records.
