Project Updates

PURPOSE: Create and post dedicated time slots each week for team members to provide you updates on their current projects and deliverables.

Time: < 1 Hour

STEP 1: Share the purpose of the Project Updates with your team.

STEP 2: Post your Project Update time slots on your door, work space, or on an on-line calendar (e.g., Monday 2 - 4 p.m.). 

STEP 3: Team members should either schedule 10 minutes within the Project Updates, or stop by your desk during that time slot if you do not have a scheduled meeting with another team member at that moment.

STEP 4: During the Project Updates, discuss the following with your employees:

  1. Recent developments with their projects or deliverables
  2. The status on each of their work projects
  3. Successes they have experienced
  4. Obstacles they have experienced
  5. Additional support they need from you in order to be successful 

STEP 5: Discuss the steps both you and the team member must take in order to ensure the team member can successfully achieve his or her goals and deliverables.

Note: Try to keep each Project Update to 10 minutes.
