What are you talking about? Reviews of what? Predictions for what?
I finished reading the "Introduction" completely clueless what this article is about. I continued "Benefits", still not having a clue what the article is about. After another paragraph I closed the tab.
Sorry, this article seems to be targeted at some niche audience, and I'm not in it. It would be great to have some actual introduction to indicate what you are talking about.
- k_sze 6y agoI didn't close the tab outright, but I agree that the author should be more forthcoming about what exactly they are talking about. The whole "weekly review" thing just absolutely lacks context. Like, are they talking about the "weekly review" in the GTD methodology? Or in something like Scrum? Or something else entirely?
- k_sze 6y agoSo I left a comment on that blog and the author replied that the "weekly review" is the one in GTD.

- baxtr 6y agoYeah. My first thought was: yearly employee reviews... nice thought though!
- clairity 6y agoyou may then also like “Get Rid of the Performance Review!” by samuel culbert[0] which advocates performance previews (predictions) rather than backward-looking reviews.

- clairity 6y agoha, i think my subconscious was saying we need more colbert.
