Questions

Start with 3-5 quarterly priorities, assign owners, and build a timed agenda. Include blocks for reviewing last quarter's results, walking through new goals, and assigning action items. The route on aidowith.me generates all of this plus talking points and a follow-up template in about 2 hours.

60-90 minutes works for most teams of 5-15 people. The route builds your agenda around your team size and priority count. For larger teams (15+), it suggests a 2-hour format with breakout sections. The key is keeping each agenda block under 15 minutes to maintain focus.

The route generates an async summary doc with all goals, owners, and deadlines. Remote or absent team members get the same information as attendees. You can also add a 15-minute recorded walkthrough of the summary for people in different time zones.
