WEEKLY PROJECT CONVERSATIONS · Workflow idea

Bring last week’s progress and decisions into one useful view.

Review a selected project’s conversations over the previous week, organize messages by contributor, and prepare a concise team report. Make decisions and follow-up questions easy to find, keep private discussions out of the summary, and let a project owner confirm the final content and recipients before sharing it.

The handoff

A reviewable weekly project summary covering notable activity, shared themes, and open questions.

Keep in mind

A recap may misstate a person’s contribution or omit qualifications from a discussion. Verify important points against their original context, avoid using message volume to evaluate people, and require an owner to approve the exact content and recipients before distribution.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose project spaces and participants

Select the project conversations and groups in scope, keeping separate audiences distinct.

Choose a reporting schedule

Set the period covered and how incomplete weeks or changes in project membership are handled.

Agree on summary boundaries

Define how to represent contributions, decisions, uncertainty, and private or unrelated messages.

Name a project report owner
