Agree on message-checking times and a channel for urgent matters.

Who this is for

For roles with flexible response intervals, not continuously monitored channels.

Why this matters

Clear response expectations tell colleagues which channel to use.

How to do it

An original activity to try, adapt or skip for your circumstances; outcomes are not guaranteed.

  1. Check your response duties and team expectations.
  2. Choose checking times that fit those duties and keep an urgent channel.
  3. Communicate the arrangement, try it and adjust if coordination suffers.
