Thirty minutes on Friday
A weekly review does not need an app or a methodology. It needs a fixed slot and five questions answered in writing.
Five questions
- What shipped this week?
- What is still open and who is waiting on it?
- Which invoices are unpaid?
- What is the one outcome that would make next week a success?
- What should be dropped or renegotiated?
Protect the slot
Put it in the calendar before client work fills the week. The point is not to be organised. The point is to notice a cash flow or scope problem while it is still small.
