01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A recorded activity update from a development project the team follows

“Present selected project updates and their available context to the appropriate team reviewer without changing project records or contacting outside parties.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Makes development project updates easier for a team to inspect, discuss, and route to the right owner.

  1. Define the projects to review

    Choose the development projects whose updates should be visible to the team.

  2. Present update details for inspection

    Keep the available project, event, and timing context with each item.

  3. Confirm the update in its original context

    Ask a developer or project owner to check the underlying activity before drawing a conclusion.

  4. Escalate questions to the right person

    Route uncertain or important updates to the owner who can explain their effect on current work.

  5. Review any proposed response

    Have a person approve any change to project records or message to an outside audience before it happens.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A clear internal activity item and review status, with any project change or external communication waiting for human approval.

The handoff

A clear internal activity item and review status, with any project change or external communication waiting for human approval.

Keep in mind

A notice is not proof that a change is accurate, complete, or ready to ship. Check the original project information and require an authorized person to approve any outside communication or consequential change.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Set the project and activity scope

Document which project updates the team needs to see and which can stay in the normal project history.

Choose who can see update details

Select an internal location with access limited to teammates authorized to review project information.

Name reviewers and escalation owners

Assign who reviews incoming activity and who resolves questions about project impact.

Check the review process

Try a routine change, an incomplete notice, and an update that could affect a release; confirm each remains subject to a person’s decision.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
