Weekly Update Template For Engineering Managers

Downloaded by 750 leaders and engineers!

As an Engineering Manager for 6 years at both start-ups and big companies and a current angel investor, I've found that the most important thing to ensure your team's success is Weekly Updates.

Why? They focus you and your team's efforts on what matters, keeps everyone from leadership to direct reports on the same page, engages a high level of trust, and creates a "paper trail" of historical context.

What started as a simple thread on Twitter about the importance of weekly updates quickly grew into a request for the best weekly update format.

Here is my take on a good weekly update. It includes:

• Easily accessible team information

• Focus on team's OKRs and how they tie back to business goals

• Quick project status updates

• Team updates

• A peek into the next week
