Headlines are any announcements, bits of news, or pieces of information you want to share with an entire team.

Creating a Headline

The easiest way to create a Headline for any team is via the Quick Create button in the top left.

Give your Headline a title, assign the Team Space it's meant for, and add any details or context in the description - you can include attachments

Once sent, the Headline will populate within the receiving team's Headline page where it can be viewed by all team members.

From there, team members can leave comments and even add To Dos off the Headline whenever needed

For team's that run their own L10 meetings, any open Headlines will be automatically pulled into their next L10 agenda for discussion.


Cascading Headlines

Keeping teams informed of major decisions, news, and/or announcements is critical to any successful organization. Strety's Cascading Headlines feature allows leaders to send Headlines to multiple teams at once, trickling messages down to anyone who needs to know in one motion

Cascading a new headline to multiple teams

The fastest way to send a message to multiple teams is via the Quick Create button in the top left

Give your Cascading Headline a title and description & include attachments (if needed). Toggle the Cascade to multiple teams on and select any team(s) you want to share the Headline with

Once the Cascading Headline is sent, it will appear as a new Headline for any receiving team. We also add a tag identifying the sending team

Cascading Headlines from an Agenda/L10

Often times, a Headline may be added to a single team but once discussed in a team meeting, like an L10, you may want to share the news to other teams or departments.

To cascade a headline from an agenda, click the Cascade menu option and select the team space(s) you want to cascade the Headline to

Cascading Headlines from Issues

The majority of time spent in every L10 meeting centers around the Issues list. This is where teams identify, discuss, and solve (IDS) their most important short term items. Naturally, some of those decisions or resolutions need to be cascaded up, down, or across the organization to keep everyone aligned.

To create a Cascading Headline from an Issue, click the 3-dot menu and select Create Headline

The Cascading Headline will be auto-populated w the name & description of the Issue

Note: You can customize the title and description for the recipient teams without it affecting the original title and description of the Issue

The Cascading Headline along with a tag identifying the sending team will appear as a new Headline for any of receiving teams


Archiving Headlines

Once everyone is up on the news, you can archive Headlines by clicking the 3-dot menu to the right of its title. Headlines will also auto-archive upon completion of an L10 meeting

View any Archived Headlines by clicking the 'Show Archived' button

Headline Categories

Add an extra layer of organization for your team's Headlines by creating custom categories. Categories can be used group Headlines in your L10s!

We've added a few default categories to get you started but your team can edit & add to the list by clicking Edit Categories and making your desired changes
