FAQ

What is a weekly work update?
A weekly work update is a short summary of what you completed, what you are working on now, and what is blocked or needs attention.
Can this replace a weekly meeting?
Often yes. A written update handles routine visibility much more efficiently than a recurring status meeting.

A weekly work update does not need to be complicated. If it tells someone what you finished, what you are focused on, and what needs attention, it is doing its job.

Example

Here is a simple weekly work update format that works in most roles.

This week I finished the analytics dashboard prototype, cleaned up 3 onboarding bugs, and met with support to review the most common customer issues. Next week I am focusing on shipping the first dashboard release. The main blocker right now is getting final design approval for the mobile layout.

Good Structure

  • Start with what got done
  • Mention what you are focused on now
  • Call out blockers or asks explicitly
  • Keep it short enough that it gets read
