Why Weekly Planning is Critical for Team Work

Let me try to persuade you that weekly planning is critical 

Without the weekly report 
- no opportunity for the supervisor to provide sensible feedback
- key tasks get stuck
- tasks  that are critical for the work of others to follow  

- tasks that are urgent is not priortized 

- tasks can be duplicated 

- tasks that others can do more efficiently is not allocated 

- there seems to be a need for repeated emails  

If the weekly report is done late then it is no longer a plan and we also lost time with priority tasks. 

If someone is overburdened or unable to complete tasks, we should drop tasks such as that or re-assign. If you are overloaded, we can re-assign tasks, and some tasks can be done 80% with the available time. 

Therefore, we should consider weekly planning as the highest priority.
