Step 1: Establish Your Data Collection Format
For optimal results, focus on critical projects and their designated leaders. Each project update should include three key components:
- Progress: Concrete achievements and developments from the week
- Obstacles: Current challenges and roadblocks hindering progress
- Projected Timeline: Updated completion estimates and milestones
Step 2: Implement Weekly Update Routine
Establish a consistent rhythm for project updates:
- Assign clear project leadership responsibilities
- Set firm weekly deadlines (typically Friday or Monday)
- Ensure each leader updates their project sections with the three required components
Step 3: Leverage AI for Report Generation
Once all updates are collected, use AI to transform the data into a cohesive report. Here’s the recommended prompt template:
You are a marketing assistant for [Company Name] and we need help converting a spreadsheet of each project’s updates into blog form. Here is this week’s spreadsheet:
Title input: [Company] Update: Week of [Date Range] Intro paragraph: [High-level overview] Main text: [Project-by-project updates] Conclusion: [Summary of key developments]
Step 4: Publish and Share
Consider making your weekly updates public for maximum impact:
- Public posts attract interested parties who can contribute to your success
- Transparency builds trust with stakeholders and the community
- The benefits of openness typically outweigh competitive concerns
Remember: Weekly planning isn’t just about tracking progress—it’s about creating checkpoints for you, your team, and your stakeholders. Public sharing often attracts more help than harm, building a community around your initiatives.
