Best Practices

Do's ✅

best_practices:
  timing:
    - "Send reports consistently (same day/time each period)"
    - "Allow 24 hours for review before meetings"
    - "Distribute before, not during, status meetings"

  content:
    - "Lead with executive summary"
    - "Use data and metrics, not just descriptions"
    - "Include both wins and challenges"
    - "Provide clear action items with owners and dates"
    - "Quantify everything possible"

  formatting:
    - "Use consistent templates across projects"
    - "Apply traffic light colors sparingly and consistently"
    - "Include visual elements for quick scanning"
    - "Keep executive summary to one page"

  distribution:
    - "Create audience-specific versions"

    impact: "Stakeholders blindsided by problems"
    fix: "Lead with issues requiring attention"

  - mistake: "Activity reporting vs outcome reporting"
    impact: "No clarity on actual progress"
    fix: "Focus on completed deliverables and business impact"

  - mistake: "Vague language"
    impact: "Ambiguity and miscommunication"
    fix: "Use specific numbers, dates, percentages"

  - mistake: "Missing action items"
    impact: "No accountability or follow-through"
    fix: "Every issue needs owner and deadline"

  - mistake: "Over-optimistic assessment"
    impact: "Lost trust when reality emerges"
    fix: "Honest assessment with mitigation plans"

  - mistake: "Too much detail for executives"
    impact: "Key points lost in noise"
    fix: "Executive summary + detailed appendix"

      },
      label: { type: "plain_text", text: "Next Week's Focus" }
    }
  ]
};

Лучшие практики

  1. Консистентность важнее красоты — используй один и тот же шаблон
  2. Executive summary всегда первым — руководители читают только его
  3. Честность в оценках — лучше предупредить о рисках заранее
  4. Конкретика вместо общих фраз — "завершено 75%" вместо "почти готово"
  5. Action items с владельцами — каждый риск и issue должен иметь ответственного
  6. Архивируй отчёты — они нужны для post-mortem и планирования
  7. Адаптируй под аудиторию — разная глубина для разных читателей
