Who This Helps
This is for team leads who feel like every product or ops decision is a fresh debate. You're tired of rehashing the same data questions every week. The Product Decisions Mission Pack gives you a structured way to turn data into a steady drumbeat for your team.
Mini Case
Sam's team spent 30 minutes in every Monday meeting just trying to remember what the key metrics were from last week. After launching a simple weekly ritual, they cut that time to 5 minutes. More importantly, their project prioritization became 40% faster because everyone was looking at the same dashboard.
Do This Now (5 Steps)
- Block 30 minutes on your calendar for this Friday. Call it "Weekly Pulse."
- Pick one dashboard or report that shows your team's core health metric. Just one.
- Write down the current number and last week's number next to it.
- Ask yourself: "Is this trend good, bad, or flat?" Write one sentence.
- Send that one sentence and the two numbers to your team in a Slack message or email. Done.
Avoid These Traps
- Don't try to analyze five dashboards at once. Start with one.
- Don't wait for "perfect" data. Use what you have now.
- Don't write a long essay. One sentence is powerful.
- Don't skip a week. Consistency builds the habit.
- Don't keep the insight to yourself. Sharing is the whole point.
- Don't let debate derail you. You're just reporting the trend.
- Don't change the metric every week. Stick with it for a month.
- Don't forget to celebrate when the trend is good. A little confetti emoji goes a long way.
Your Win by Friday
By this Friday, you'll have sent your first weekly pulse. Your team will know what to focus on without a meeting. You'll have created a single source of truth that stops circular debates. Decisions will start to feel obvious, not chaotic. That's the power of a simple ritual.
