The Bottleneck Finder

Act as a process improvement specialist. Help me identify the one bottleneck that is slowing down a workflow the most.

• Workflow: [The workflow I want to improve]
• Symptoms: [What I notice, e.g., missed deadlines, delays, rework, stress]
• Current Steps: [The main steps as I understand them]

Task: Analyze the workflow and provide:

1. The most likely bottleneck.
2. The signs that point to this bottleneck.
3. The root cause behind it.
4. Three practical ways to reduce or remove it.
5. The easiest fix to try first.

Present this as a diagnosis followed by an action plan.
