A 3P update covers Progress, Plans, and Problems for a team over one week. Confirm the team name and time period, gather updates from Slack or docs, then format each section in 1-3 concise, data-driven sentences.

A company newsletter summarizes the past week or month in roughly 20-25 short bullet points grouped into sections like announcements, priorities, and leadership updates. Pull links from Slack, email, calendar, and Google Drive, and write in the "we" tense.

The guidelines reference Slack posts with high engagement, Google Drive documents, company-wide emails, and calendar events like all-hands meetings. If tool access is unavailable, you can provide the content directly for formatting.

Use the general communications guideline, which asks about target audience, purpose, tone, and formatting requirements first. It applies principles like clarity, active voice, and leading with the most important information.

A 3P update should be readable in 30-60 seconds, with each of the Progress, Plans, and Problems sections limited to 1-3 sentences. The tone should be matter-of-fact and include metrics where possible.
