Weekly commitments

Plan your week, see the team weekly plan, and carry unfinished work into a new week.

Last updated

A weekly commitment records that a person plans to work on a story or task during a week. It does not change the card's assignee or status.

Make a realistic weekly plan#

A freelancer might commit to three client tasks for this week. A team can check its weekly plan to see what each person has picked up and where help is needed.

Commit to your own week#

  1. Open a story or task.
  2. Choose Commit to this week. The button changes to Committed this week. Choose it again to take the card off your week.
  3. Use Commit to another week beside it to plan for next week.

  1. Open My issues in the sidebar, then This week. Your committed cards appear here, including cards assigned to someone else.
  2. Use the week controls to look at another week. If unfinished work remains from last week, use Carry over to add it to the current week.

Review the team plan#

  1. Open the project's weekly plan using Weekly plan in its header or More menu.
  2. Review each member's planned cards and open or done counts.
  3. With editing access, use the add control on a member's section to plan work for them. Remove a card from their week when the plan changes.

Tips and common mistakes#

  • Epics cannot be committed to a week. Commit to stories or tasks you can work on.
  • A commitment is a plan, not a new copy of the card.
  • Removing a card from a week does not delete it or mark it done.
  • Select several list rows and choose Commit to my week to plan multiple cards together.
  • A cycle is a project period. Weekly commitments are each person's plan. You can use both for the same card.
