Reality checks are brief reviews of where
you are and what you are doing. Team leaders need to do this
before each meeting to ensure things are on track. Team members
and decisionmakers can do this to catch problems before they
get out of hand.
| Most of the reality check can be done by phone
or e-mail with key, knowledgeable individuals. This quick
procedure can be used as an outline for oral reports and
updates. Use this between full blown take
stock analyses.

 to see if the needs you are addressing
are still the needs that need to be met. Are you keeping
up with the changes?
- With the core team members
to see if they have the tools and data they need for
the analysis. Are there other avenues you need to explore?
