Writing Guidelines

Accomplishments

• Start with action verbs (Completed, Delivered, Launched, Resolved)

• Be specific about outcomes, not just activities

• Quantify impact when possible

• Link to business value

Good: "Reduced API response time by 40%, improving user experience for 50K daily users"

Bad: "Worked on performance improvements"

Blockers

• Be specific about the issue

• Explain the impact (delays, dependencies)

• State what help you need

• Include any attempted solutions

Good: "Waiting on API credentials from IT (ticket #1234). This blocks the integration work scheduled for this week. Need escalation to IT manager."

Bad: "Can't make progress on integration"

Next Week Plans

• Be realistic about capacity

• Prioritize top 3-5 items

• Include dependencies

• Note any risks or assumptions
