# Match
- The [[Match]] is the [[Anticipate Advance Assess|Anticipate, Advance and Assess Loop]] for the [[Arena]].
- Each [[Match]] is a fixed period during which all work in an [[Arena]] is carried out, lasting at most a moth.
- In [[Enterprise|Enterprises]] with multiple [[Arena|Arenas]], all [[Arena|Arenas]] follow the same [[Match]] schedule.
- [[Team|Teams]] are responsible for self-managing all work within a [[Match]].
- The [[System Lead|System Leads]] are ensuring adequate work and communication structures are in place to support the [[Team|Teams]] throughout a [[Match]].
- Only the [[Owner]] has the authority to cancel or restart a [[Match]].
- Each [[Team]] is expected to complete at least one [[Improvement]] from the [[Arena Backlog]] during each [[Match]].
- The [[System Lead|System Leads]] are overseeing the application of [[Anticipate Advance Assess|Anticipate, Advance and Assess]] practices within the [[Match]].
#### Anticipate
* [[Team|Teams]] autonomously decide the number of [[Improvement|Improvements]] they aim to complete in a [[Match]]
- A [[Team]] must pull [[Improvement|Improvements]] from the top of the backlog but can discuss the order with the [[Owner]].
#### Advance
- Once a [[Team]] pulls an [[Improvement]], they are solely responsible for its completion, including coordinating with other teams and stakeholders both within and outside the [[Arena]].
- [[Team|Teams]] and the [[Owner]] collaboratively establish rules for completing [[Improvement|Improvements]].
- The [[System Lead|System Leads]] are ensuring that these rules are established, adhered to, and modified as necessary to maintain efficiency and effectiveness.
#### Assess
- The [[Arena Product]] is regularly inspected by the [[Team|Teams]] as part of their routine during a [[Match]].
- At the end of each [[Match]], [[Team|Teams]] identify [[Improvement|Improvements]] for the [[Arena Product|Product]], which the [[Owner]] must then consider for inclusion in the [[Arena Backlog]].
- At the end of each [[Match]], [[Team|Teams]] assess their processes to pinpoint enhancements aimed at boosting effectiveness. These enhancements are added as [[Improvement|Improvements]] to the [[Arena Backlog]].
- During the next [[Match|Match's Anticipate phase]], the [[Team|Teams]], [[Owner]], and [[System Lead|System Leads]] commit to addressing at least one [[Improvement|improvement]] in the work system.
