How to use it
Step 1
Read each one out. Done, not done or moved. Open actions that quietly disappear tell the crew nothing happens.
Step 2
Note who agreed to do what and by when. The debate doesn't need to be on the sheet.
Step 3
File the signed page where the next lead can find it. Post the actions where the crew can see them.
Take attendance on a phone, with each person signing on the screen. Actions get an owner and a due date, it works with no signal and the record is kept for you.
A new template, calculator or guide when we publish one. No spam, and you can leave any time.
