PUT A NAME ON IT

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

When project updates pass through a manager, leadership can lose the details needed to unblock the work. Nordhealth puts one engineer's name on each project and has that person post a weekly update in Linear, including changed dates and a link to the work. Reading roughly 30 updates takes leadership 30 to 60 minutes, leaving four to six projects needing closer attention. The owner can book Wednesday office hours directly with leadership. Start with a blocked project and check whether its named owner can get a decision without sending the question through their manager.
