Team Focus Documents
Purpose
Focus documents bridge the gap between:
- Static profile (
40 - Team/[Name].md) - Quarterly role, responsibilities, skills - Daily tasks (
40 - Team/Tasks/[Name] Tasks.md) - Granular action items
Focus documents capture what each team member is working on at a strategic level - their current priorities, projects, and learning goals. Updated weekly or monthly as focus shifts.
What Belongs Here
| Content | Examples |
|---|---|
| Current strategic priorities | ”Drive Reputation Engine sign-ups”, “Build cold email infrastructure” |
| Active projects | Projects they’re leading or heavily involved in |
| Core metric / KPI | The number they’re being measured on |
| Skills currently learning | Tools, techniques, domains they’re developing |
| Feedback notes | Weekly feedback from Jeremy on what can be improved |
| Key context | Important background for understanding their focus |
What Does NOT Belong Here
| Content | Where It Goes Instead |
|---|---|
| Daily tasks | 40 - Team/Tasks/[Name] Tasks.md |
| Meeting notes, observations | 40 - Team/Notes/[Name] Notes.md |
| EOD logs | 40 - Team/EOD/[Name] EOD.md |
| Static role info | 40 - Team/[Name].md |
Update Frequency
- Weekly/Monthly - As priorities shift
- NOT daily - This is strategic, not tactical
- On major changes - New project assignment, role shift, KPI change
