Why do we need a baseline? • To understand where you are starting from, the current process and common cause variation • To understand what improvements you can make and predict and measure improvement • To draw a line - the median point Your data will not be the same for each data point, there will always be some variation The median is a benchmark from which you can spot changes, make predictions and understand if you are improving . You should draw the median on to your charts
