How do you make your weekly report more meaningful?

Not until Friday, I guess that means everyone's going to start holding the weekly, starting with a joke I heard

There is a technical cow in the company, a product commissioner to his bill of lading, the bull is a look at the content of the feeling is very pull, then questioned "Do you think this demand is valuable?" The other person replied sincerely: "No value, but I have to write weekly." "After thinking about it for a minute, the bull said," I'll do it for you, because I have to write a weekly report.

I think ah, look at this blog people, should be basically to write a weekly newspaper, but also have to write a daily newspaper, but how many people in the bottom of my heart actually feel that the weekly report does not mean? Just to write? Today, there are two ways to simply say how to make a weekly report really meaningful.

The first topic: what to write.

This ça, in fact, is the same as the stand-up morning in agile. form is not important, say 3 things clearly.

What has been done this week: the focus is not on what has been done, but what results have been obtained (there is consensus). For example, it's not important to spend half a day with someone who opens something, it's important what decisions are made and what follow-up action is taken.

What to do next week: Again, the focus is on what you want to get and what you're going to push. Instead of "continuing to optimize Q2 's product planning" as a virtual thing, you should be "talking to a boss about Q2 product planning and agreeing to start a project next week."

What is the problem: how to try to solve, uncertain what resources to find, who is going to let the boss or colleagues how to help you.

Then, for your work content, refinement, such as divided into "project, day-to-day needs, other" several modules, and sometimes add a little work sentiment, also very good, for example, I, is from 500 words a week to gradually write a book,:

Second topic: Who to send.

Perhaps some people think this has nothing to discuss, traditionally, the weekly report is not reporting work (white point, convenient boss summary weekly) Mody? To the director of their own, I think this is the most stupid, which greatly wasted the "write weekly" This and the cost of the brain work.

A little better, the weekly report can be sent to supervisors and team colleagues, the team of people who understand each other are doing, can facilitate the work to unfold.

Better, the weekly report should be sent to supervisors, team colleagues, subordinates, and stakeholders (other departments) and, where appropriate, differentiate between "to" and "CC", which is the true flow of information and the maximum value. Willing to send weekly report to subordinate supervisor is good supervisor,:

This said, the weekly newspaper has sensitive content ah, inconvenient to send so many people ... I say two: First, the spirit of the Internet is open sharing, think again, you feel sensitive content, is not really sensitive; second, a little bit of technical processing, very simple, can be shared content to everyone, really sensitive content, in the mail again, add to the corresponding recipient.

Or, change starts today?
