Weekly Priorities

At the start of each week, Palette asks everyone for their top priorities, potential blockers, wins from last week, and a quick shoutout. A few hours later, it posts a clean summary in Slack so the whole team knows what matters right now.

No status meetings. No messy threads. Just a shared plan.

What it does

• Asks each teammate for:

  • This week’s top 1–3 priorities

  • Any known blockers (optional)

  • A shoutout to someone on the team (optional)

• Helps people phrase their priorities clearly

• Rolls everything into one clear update (not just a paste of everyone’s answers)

• Shares that view in a team channel so everyone sees the same plan

How it works

• On a set day (usually Monday), Palette sends each teammate a quick DM.

• They reply in their own words – short and simple.

• Palette tidies the responses, surfaces blockers and themes, and creates one summary.

• That summary gets posted in Slack for the whole team.

If someone doesn’t answer, Palette follows up with a gentle nudge.

Why it matters

• The team sees what’s important this week without a standing status meeting

• Blockers show up early instead of on Friday

• People get recognition and shoutouts in front of the team

• Everyone starts the week on the same page

Ask Palette

You can ask Palette things like:

• “What’s everyone focused on this week?”

• “Who’s blocked?”

• “Any shoutouts this week?”

• “What were last week’s wins?”
