Welcome! The COO Roadmap is your go-to page to help track and manage your many projects, goals, and priorities as COO.
Fill this out on your own first, adding in what the task is, what kind of work it is, and your proposed solution.
For example, for the Admin Backlog example below, we are delegating this to an EA to free up you and your CEOs time from doing mundane tasks.
Once you have filled out this table, share your Roadmap with your CEO.
Work together during your 1:1 to prioritize projects. Not only will this give your CEO visibility in how much you're juggling, but it will also help you understand what the most urgent priorities are.
Finally, when new projects arise, you can ask your CEO where on the priority list the new project falls.
We recommended tracking it in your shared Action Tracker (whether it's on Notion, or Asana, or something else. Just be sure to mark these as deliverables or milestones so it's explicitly clear that you're on track.)
Be sure to establish with your CEO: what does success as a COO look like to them?
Make sure you reach a mutual agreement on this definition of success.
If your CEO doesn’t want to be bogged down with mundane tasks, everything you do has to enable that:
You can also delegate out things you don't enjoy or aren't in your Zone of Genius where possible, and take care of the things that are.
It's a win-win!
