# Weekend Syncups

### All Motion is not Progress.

Syncup up weekly with within each project team to maintain alignment between each individual's next week's path and the project goal.

Done asynchronously as a [silent meeting](http://playbook.thevantageproject.com/operating-at-tvp/silent-meetings) starting at 5pm IST every Friday and concludes on Saturday 11am IST.

### Process

1. **What do you want to accomplish this coming week?** \
   Use [SMART](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4IU-y9-J8Q\&feature=youtu.be\&t=19): Specific, Measurable, Achievable goals that are falsifiable (yes I was able to achieve it/no I was not).\
   \
   Limit the scope of the goal to the individual and hence no dependency. “What do YOU plan to achieve?”

   \
   Example of a goal that doesn’t work: Working on X with the help of Y.

   \
    
2. **Here is what you set as the goal for this week:** \
   \<copy data from last syncup>

   \
   **What did actually get accomplished this week?**\
   This section is for your observation only. Use this for self-feedback.\
   \
   Include:

   1. Status check of progress on line items from the last Syncup.
      1. Mention progress, not motion.
      2. Add things that weren't planned but occurred.
   2. Address work-related status first. Then extend it to all else that occurred during the week.&#x20;

   Reality != Being conservative. Reality != Heroism. Reality = Truth.\
   \
   Use this data to improve #1.<br>
3. **Blockers faced in this week**\
   Understanding the problem completely is the solution itself.
