Reflect-Plan-Do Matrix

How Do TEams Know What To do?


A four-quadrant matrix with axes labeled 'Planning' and 'Reflecting.' Quadrants contain the phrases 'Insight Seeker,' 'Mission Mover,' 'Heart-Led Hustler,' and 'Resourceful Reactor.' 'Reflect Plan Do Matrix' is in the top right corner.

An aligned team moves purposefully to accomplish the mission.


How It Works

Take a quiz to find your position on the RPD Matrix.
Your position indicates how your team decides what to do.

X Axis: Reflecting

How does your team define, track, and measure mission progress?

High Reflecting - Data are accessible, metrics are in place
Low Reflecting - Metrics are vague, systems are informal, data are scattered

Y Axis: Planning

How does your team understand their role in the mission?

High Planning - Proactive with shared clarity
Low Planning - Reactive, teamwork is incidental
