Weekly Design Update

Write a crisp weekly update that highlights progress, decisions, impact, and what?s next.

Prompt

Write a weekly update for my design work that a cross-functional team will actually read.

Context:
- Product/team: [describe]
- Audience: [PM/Eng/Leadership/Design]
- This week (what I did): [bullet list]
- Decisions made: [bullet list]
- Open questions / blockers: [bullet list]
- Metrics / signals (if any): [numbers, feedback, learnings]
- Next week priorities: [bullet list]

Output:
1) Slack version (8?12 lines, skimmable)
2) Notion/Email version (structured with headings)
3) ?Asks? section (what I need from PM/Eng/Leadership)
4) Risks + mitigations

Style constraints:
- Clear, concrete, non-hype
- Emphasize outcomes + decisions over activity
- If I didn?t ship a metric, say what signal we have (qual, research, stakeholder alignment)

How to use

  1. 01

    Fill in the context bullets with your real work from the past week (projects, decisions, blockers, outcomes).

  2. 02

    If you have metrics: include them (conversion, activation, NPS, time-on-task, support ticket volume, etc.).

  3. 03

    If you don?t have metrics: include qualitative signals (user quotes, research findings, stakeholder alignment, shipped learning).

  4. 04

    Ask for two tones if needed: ?Direct? and ?More diplomatic.?

  5. 05

    Paste the result into Slack/Notion and edit any sensitive details before posting.

Tips

  • Lead with decisions and outcomes, most readers skim.
  • Keep ?Asks? specific (who, what, by when).
  • If something slipped, state the reason + next step (no excuses, just clarity).
