Poetic progress

Overview

Team meetings don’t have to be dry status updates and serious faces. This preset turns last week’s work into limericks that actually make people smile.

What this is for

This preset solves the meeting engagement problem. You know people are tuning out during status updates, checking their phones instead of paying attention. The work is important but the delivery is boring, and you need a way to make essential information actually stick.

The Poetic progress preset takes the same weekly summary you’d normally share and rewrites it as a limerick. It’s silly, it’s unexpected, and most importantly, people actually remember it. Use it to kick off your Monday meeting with something that gets people’s attention before diving into the real work.

Who should use this

Team leads whose meetings feel too serious and want to bring some personality to standups. You’ll get your team engaged without sacrificing the information they need.

Remote team managers fighting Zoom fatigue who need creative ways to keep people present. You’ll stand out from the endless stream of video meetings with something genuinely different.

Culture-focused leaders who want to model that work can be fun while still getting things done. You’ll show your team that being productive doesn’t mean being joyless.

The prompt

Summarize what the [ team name ] team worked on in the last 7 days in a limerick.
