Recaps
How Recaps can help?
1) Keep the team focused on the right things. Ensure the team is prioritizing the right things, and don't let anyone get too side tracked.
2) As a team member, don't feel the need to send stand up notes or list out your work from the week, we should do that work for you - just edit where necessary.
3) When time comes to reflect on your performance, it's helpful to have a running list of what you've achieved. Don't feel the need to keep a separate doc or note, we'll keep it for you.
How does it work?
Recaps are generated every Friday (or on demand) for every team member.
Recaps are automatically generated by parsing through millions of activities from whatever systems are connected to Windmill.
We'll do our best to summarize the week in 3-5 bullets and these bullets will be shared directly with you to edit or alter before they are passed along to your manager.
Recaps will be shared with each team member with an opportunity to make any tweaks before they are saved.
How are my Recaps generated?
Windmill looks at meetings, tasks, activities, etc. and tries to generate the top 5 most important things you focused on during the previous week.
Employees always have the option to edit their recaps, and Recaps are limited to what Windmill has access to.
How can I improve my Recaps?
If you receive your Recaps on Friday and find yourself wondering, "are these for me" or "I think I did more than this" - do not fear.
There are lots of ways to improve the quality of your Recaps, here are a few:
The more data we have the better it works. If there are other integrations that would be helpful to get more context your organization should add them. Our full list of available integrations is available here.
Windy isn't perfect, if Windy forgets something, you can always reply to Windy on Friday with your edits directly - Windy will always incorporate your edits into the final list.
How can I see my team's Recaps?
You can always log into gowindmill.com to review everything for your team
Like all Routines, Recaps will generate a weekly Report for you to review that includes everyones Recaps from the previous week
