WEEKLY TEAM ACTIVITY · Workflow idea

Start the week with the important context from last week’s conversations.

Bring together the previous week’s relevant team conversations, organize notable contributions and decisions, and prepare a short overview for the team. Preserve the context behind key points, avoid exposing private or unrelated discussions, and have an owner check the report and intended audience before it is shared.

The handoff

A concise weekly report with notable work, decisions, and open questions ready for team-owner review.

Keep in mind

Conversation summaries can omit nuance or include information intended for a smaller group. Keep the source available to reviewers, limit the report to relevant work details, and require a person to approve the final wording and audience before sharing.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Select project conversations

Choose the team spaces in scope and keep separate projects or audiences from being combined unintentionally.

Set the reporting window and cadence

Choose the period covered by each report and how the team will handle holidays or incomplete activity.

Define useful report content

Agree on how progress, decisions, open questions, and individual contributions should be summarized.

Assign report reviewers

Name who verifies source context and approves the exact summary and audience before each report is shared.
