Challenge Lifecycle Management
Once a challenge is live, you’re managing four things simultaneously: watching it happen (monitoring), understanding what the data says (analysis), making it better based on what you learn (optimization), and deciding when it’s time to end it (retirement). These aren’t sequential—they all happen at once.Active Management
