SubjectShould we try Headwater?
Hi ,
I don’t think most people here could tell you what our priorities are this quarter, or how they’re going. The plan is split between a deck, a spreadsheet, and a lot of meeting notes, so the only way to find out is to ask around.
I’ve been looking at a tool called Headwater that’s made for exactly this.
You set the vision and a few big goals, then each team picks a handful of priorities for the quarter and breaks them into milestones.
The bits I think would help us most:
- Everyone can see the whole plan, and how their own work fits in.
- Progress is worked out from the milestones people tick off, so nobody has to chase anyone for updates.
- Each team meets for an hour a week with everyone’s updates already on screen, so we’d spend most of it fixing problems.
It’s £249 a month for the whole company, with everything included and no per-person fees. The first quarter is free, so we could try it properly before paying anything.
Could we give it a go next quarter?

Thanks,
