Weekly Async Updates
GitLab · The GitLab Handbook Free Intermediate
A concrete, copyable pattern for the written weekly update that replaces the status meeting, straight from a team that lives by it. It shows what a useful update contains so you get progress and blockers, not vague activity. Adapt this format for your own team so their written check-in is something you can actually read and act on across the time gap.
- A weekly written update can replace the status call
- State progress and blockers, not just activity
- A shared format makes updates fast to write and read
