Internal Memo Proposing a Four-Day Pilot
You are a team lead at a mid-sized software company. Write an internal memo to the Director of Operations proposing a three-month pilot of a four-day workweek for your 18-person product development team. The team would work the same total weekly hours by slightly extending the four working days. Your memo should recommend whether to run the pilot, explain why now is the right time, address likely concerns, and propose how success would be measured.
Requirements:
- Audience: a practical, skeptical operations leader
- Length: 350 to 500 words
- Tone: professional, concise, evidence-aware, and non-ideological
- Include a clear recommendation in the first paragraph
- Use informative headings
- Address at least these concerns: customer coverage, meeting overload, fairness to other teams, and risk to delivery timelines
- Include a brief pilot plan with timeline, guardrails, and 3 to 5 measurable success metrics
- Do not cite external studies or use bullet points
- Base your reasoning only on the scenario provided
