DO

Do what you said you would do.

Implement your plan and execute it.

CHECK

What are the results? What went wrong and what did you learn?

Did it work? Did you get the results you wanted? Or do you need to make changes in your plans?

The idea is that you identify problems and avoid recurring mistakes – so you can apply continuous improvements.
