No BS project comms for teams of teams
We’re all wasting time talking about work when we could be working. That’s because there’s no consistent, easy way to communicate across teams. Until now.
In teamwork, silence isn't golden, it's deadly.

We’ve created a system of communication for modern work.
For all the effort that has gone into creating Agile rituals for intra-team comms and Design thinking rituals for customer comms, it’s shocking how little thought has gone into designing a better system of communication across teams. Team-to-team communication is not taught, not valued and often gets a bad rap as “status reporting.” Welcome to the new world of status reporting that looks and feels nothing like a color-coded, cluster of a spreadsheet.
The Loop is for forward-thinking teams who are tired of getting blindsided by feedback the day before their deadline. It’s for teams who have the courage to be vulnerable. Teams who are willing to admit what they don’t know and get started anyways. And it’s for teams who believe that opening up their work, warts and all, will make them a stronger team, more reliable project partners and set a better example for effective communication across their organization.
introducing THE PRINCIPAL LOOP BELIEFS
Open up your work in progress
Avoid after-the-fact advice by sharing your work-in-progress for feedback early and often. By operating openly, you’ll avoid “unknown unknowns” before they become insurmountable roadblocks.
Curate, don’t automate
Information overload does not have to paralyze your project. Get and give just the right amount of data and details so your stakeholders stay in the loop and your work gets noticed.
Common vocabulary over common tooling
Whether we know it or not, every time we communicate we make comprehension and speed trade-offs. Guess what, we can do both if we all start speaking the same project language.
Show that you’re paying attention
We spend too much time on status reports for them not to be read. What might it look like to spend less time writing, reading and responding to updates?
