A focused, timeboxed 90-minute agenda — the Level 10-style format teams use to review metrics, keep priorities on track, and actually solve issues. Below: the agenda, a section-by-section facilitator guide, roles, prep checklist, and the mistakes that sink most weekly meetings. Comes with a printable agenda, a scorecard spreadsheet, and a facilitator slide deck. Steal it free.

It is a weekly leadership or departmental meeting with a fixed agenda, a fixed length (90 minutes), and a fixed start time — same day, same time, every week. The name comes from the goal: meetings good enough that attendees rate them a 10 out of 10. The format was popularized by EOS® (the Entrepreneurial Operating System®), and many teams now run it with or without the rest of that framework.
What makes it different from a typical status meeting is the ratio. The first 30 minutes are fast, structured reporting where nothing is discussed — anything off track is written onto an issues list. The last hour is spent solving those issues. Most meetings spend almost all their time on updates; this one spends two-thirds of it on the problems that updates reveal.
Go around the room: one personal win and one professional win from the past week, 30 seconds each. It sounds soft, but it does real work — it gets everyone talking once, shifts attention from the last meeting to this one, and gives the leader a read on how people are doing. The facilitator goes first to set the length.
Review the team's 5–15 weekly numbers. Each owner states whether their number is on or off track against its goal — nothing more. Off track means it drops to the issues list for later. The discipline is report, don't discuss; one ten-minute story about a missed number and the whole meeting runs late. Need a starting point? See the weekly scorecard template, with a worked example.
Each quarterly priority (often called a "rock") gets a one-word update from its owner: on track or off track. "On track" means "I will finish this by the due date." Off-track priorities drop to the issues list. The quarterly rocks template covers how to write priorities that make this check honest.
Short, good-to-know news about customers and employees: a renewal signed, a customer complaint, a new hire starting, someone leaving. One sentence each. If a headline needs discussion, it becomes an issue.
Read last week's to-dos — the seven-day commitments made in previous meetings. Each owner says "done" or "not done". A healthy team completes 90% or more week to week. A to-do that is not done twice in a row usually means it was really an issue, or it was never a seven-day task; drop it to the issues list rather than carrying it forever.
The heart of the meeting. First, prioritize: pick the three issues that would matter most if solved this week. Then work them one at a time with identify–discuss–solve: find the real root issue (not the symptom), let everyone contribute once, and end with a decision or a to-do with an owner and date. When the top three are solved, pick the next three. It is normal to solve only a handful — the rest carry forward. The IDS issue-solving guide walks through a full example.
Recap every new to-do out loud so owners confirm them. Decide whether anything needs to be communicated to the rest of the company (a "cascading message") and who will send it. Then each attendee rates the meeting from 1 to 10. Anyone rating below 8 says briefly why — that feedback is how the meeting gets better. End on time, every time.
The format works well on video, with three adjustments. First, share one screen with the live agenda so everyone looks at the same scorecard and issues list rather than their own copy. Second, call on people by name during check-in, reporting and ratings so nobody is talking over each other. Third, have hybrid attendees in the room join the call on their own laptops (with audio muted) so remote people are not second-class participants.
The free toolkit above is enough to run a great meeting with a printed agenda and a shared spreadsheet. Teams usually switch to software when copying scorecard columns and re-typing to-dos every week gets old, or when they want the history of every meeting in one place.
Enginely runs this exact agenda on one screen: a section timer for each part, a scorecard with goals and trend sparklines, quarterly priorities marked on or off track, one-click "drop to issues", solving an issue creates its follow-up to-do, meeting ratings, and a summary email to attendees when the meeting ends. It is free for teams of up to 10 people and $49/month flat for up to 25 — no per-seat fees.
The same agenda, with the timer, scorecard, priorities, issues and to-dos on one screen. Free for teams up to 10 — no card needed.
A 90-minute weekly meeting format: check-in (5 minutes), scorecard (5), quarterly priorities or rocks (5), headlines (5), to-do review (5), issue solving (60), and conclude (5). It was popularized by EOS® and is used by many leadership and departmental teams.
Because solving problems is the point of the meeting. The first 30 minutes are fast reporting that surfaces what is off track; the final hour turns those issues into decisions and owned to-dos.
Usually three to eight: the people who own the team's numbers and quarterly priorities. Larger groups make issue solving slow; departments can run their own meeting with the same format.
At the end, each attendee rates the meeting. Anyone below 8 briefly says why, which gives the team concrete feedback to improve the meeting over time. The target is a consistent average of 8 or higher.
Yes. Many teams use the weekly agenda on its own. You need a short weekly scorecard, a few quarterly priorities, a to-do list and an issues list — all of which the free toolkit covers.
