Issues to solve

What issues should my team tackle at our next meeting?

To run a productive team meeting, walk in with the real issues already gathered: the blockers, open questions, and unresolved problems your team surfaced this week, ranked by what’s costing the most. This preset compiles that list every Monday so the meeting starts with solving instead of remembering. EOS calls this IDS – Identify, Discuss, Solve – and the hardest part, identifying, is the part Steady can do from your check-ins for you.

What this is for

Most team meetings spend their first twenty minutes reconstructing what the issues even are. People half-remember a blocker from Tuesday, someone raises a problem nobody else knew about, and the genuinely urgent thing stays buried because it didn’t happen to come up. The discussion that matters gets whatever time is left.

The Issues to solve preset hands you the list before the meeting starts. It reads the blockers and unresolved problems from the week’s check-ins and goals, prioritizes them by impact, and presents them as an agenda you can work straight through. The meeting becomes what it’s supposed to be: identifying is done, so you spend the hour discussing and solving.

Who should use this

Teams running Level 10 or any weekly operating meeting. You’ll arrive with the issues list already built and ranked.

Managers who run recurring team meetings that drift into status theater. You’ll have a concrete problem set to anchor the conversation.

Anyone tired of meetings that surface problems but never close them. You’ll start from the issues and spend your time resolving them.

The prompt
