Submit a candidate

What should we stop doing?

Tell us about a requirement, form, report, meeting, training, approval, or policy that feels like it no longer earns its place. Be specific. The team will evaluate every submission.

Two questions first

Would it matter if we didn’t do it? Would anyone miss it if it were gone? If you’re hesitating on either, that’s worth submitting. Why these two →

Then write it Smart Brevity style: the name says what it is, and the description opens with why it matters. Detail after that. Our principles →

A short, specific name for the thing you're suggesting we eliminate.
Lead with the one thing the team needs to know. If you can, name the problem it was meant to solve, and whether that's even ours to solve. Short beats complete; we’ll ask if we need more.
If you think this could be reduced rather than removed — meet monthly instead of weekly, cut the time in half — describe it here. The team will calculate the savings.
