internal-comms-3p-updates

Instructions Write a 3P update. 3P updates stand for "Progress, Plans, Problems." The main audience is executives, leadership, and teammates. Keep updates succinct and to-the-point: 30-60 seconds reading time. Write for people with some context on what the team does, but not deep familiarity.

3Ps can cover a team of any size, ranging all the way up to the entire company. The bigger the team, the less granular the tasks should be. For example, "mobile team" might have "shipped feature" or "fixed bugs," whereas the company might have really meaty 3Ps, like "hired 20 new people" or "closed 10 new deals."

They represent the work of the team across a time period, almost always one week. They include three sections: 1) Progress: what the team has accomplished over the next time period. Focus mainly on things shipped, milestones achieved, tasks created, etc.
