A working page for your next decision

Weekly Operating Review Template

Use a short operating review to make decisions and remove constraints. The goal is a clear next action, not a larger reporting pack.

Illustrative example

This example explains how to use the worksheet. It is not a real company, a recommended target or a record of results.

Review period and context: Week ending Friday. One customer rollout and one team absence affected capacity.
Measures and evidence: Pilot activation: 3 of 4 eligible shops completed the agreed first-value task. Source: onboarding records.
Constraints and risks: One shop is blocked by an import error. The workaround takes 40 minutes per account.
Decisions and tradeoffs: Fix the import error before adding the requested reporting screen.
Actions, owners and due dates: Product lead to reproduce the import failure and test a fix before the next onboarding appointment.
Previous actions and next review: Close the permissions check after verification. Carry forward the data-export test with a named owner.

Choose one real decision and use the same customer segment throughout.
Record facts, estimates and unknowns separately. Attach source URLs and dates to claims.
Review the tradeoffs with the people doing the work, then assign the next action.
Revisit the worksheet when the evidence changes. A completed form is not proof that the business will work.
