Why You Should Send a Weekly Summary Email

<p>Since I joined RevenueCat a year and a half ago, I have without fail sent a weekly email summary to my manager and my team, and I am asking all product managers in my team to do the same. It&rsquo;s not something I invented, and it&rsquo;s deceptively simple. However, this weekly ritual has many benefits that I want to talk about in the following.</p> <p>At its core, the weekly email has two headings with 3&ndash;5 short bullet points each:&nbsp;<strong>achievements this week</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>priorities next week</strong>. Under the former, you list the 3&ndash;5 most important things you got done this week, under the latter, the 3&ndash;5 most important things you want to get done the following week.</p> <p>Here is an example of how such an email could look like:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Achievements this week:</strong></p> <p><strong>Charts</strong>: Created working prototype charts for all prioritized new charts ideas</p> <p><strong>Amazon Appstore support</strong>: Finalized launch plan</p> <p><strong>Expiration event bug</strong>: Helped triage a nasty bug and spec out a solution that will be implemented next sprint</p> <p><strong>Priorities next week:</strong></p> <p><strong>Charts</strong>: Start collecting and incorporating customer feedback on prototype charts</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://jefago.medium.com/why-you-should-send-a-weekly-summary-email-1c556149ed42"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
