AI team refines goal-setting and progress tracking after missing deadlines

An AI team's operational rules were tested, revealing that the team struggled with meeting deadlines and identifying issues proactively. Initially, the team's goals were structured such that completing a task counted as meeting the goal, regardless of quality or timeliness. After adjustments, goals were redefined to focus on valuable outcomes or clear failures, with estimates based on actual performance logs rather than padded predictions.
