FAQPage Schema
How do I automate weekly planning to align my team and track carryover?

Weekly planning automation establishes a theme, defines top outcomes, and captures carryover from the previous week to align the team. It synthesizes prior summaries and current goals to produce a concise plan covering collaboration needs and risks.

What inputs do I need to set up a weekly plan with carryover and outcomes?

Weekly planning requires the environment to supply BASE_DIR, TODAY, YEAR, and WEEK variables. It optionally reads existing context from goals.md, team-goals.md, and the previous week's plan.md to synthesize the current schedule.

Can I persist my weekly plan as a markdown file for future reference?

Yes, weekly planning can output an optional persisted plan.md file. This file is saved at the specified BASE_DIR path under the current YEAR and WEEK directory structure for future reference.

How does the ISO week date format affect weekly planning automation?

ISO week formatting standardizes the weekly planning cycle by determining the YEAR and WEEK variables. This ensures the automation correctly retrieves previous carryover and saves the new plan in the proper directory.

What is the best way to surface collaboration needs and risks during team planning?

Surfacing collaboration needs and risks during team planning is handled by synthesizing the week's context from prior summaries and current goals. The automation generates a structured plan that explicitly highlights these areas.
