The 20-minute weekly control every team should run

The pressure point

Teams often wait too long to review what happened last week. A 20-minute control forces the conversation to happen before the next week starts taking shape.

  • 1Keep the agenda fixed and short
  • 2Track one win, one miss, and one risk
  • 3Leave with named owners and due dates

What to change

The review should be lightweight enough to survive a busy week. If it takes an hour to prepare, it will stop being used.

  • 1Use the same questions every week
  • 2Store decisions where the whole team can see them
  • 3Close with one action per channel

Editorial takeaway

Small recurring controls beat dramatic resets because they keep the team close to reality.
