#Decision points

Decisions to make along the way

  • What are this week's top priorities?
  • What must be unblocked first?

#Approval points

No formal approval gate

This routine has no separate sign-off step, but review your work before it affects clients or finances.

#Success metrics

  • Fewer overdue tasks
  • Blockers resolved faster

#Best practices

  • Look at blocked tasks first.
  • Keep the priority list short.

#Common mistakes

  • Planning without checking blockers.
  • Overloading the week.

#Realistic example

In practice

Each Monday the ops lead filters tasks by status, clears two blockers, and sets three priorities for the team — keeping delivery predictable.
