    The goal is named and the team lists risks. Agreed scope becomes a schedule. A disputed scope goes back to the brief. Notes are sent either way. FlowSimp is completely free to use — no sign-up required.

    What does each step mean?

    1. Goal named is the trigger. List the risks before the scope question so the risks are on the table.
    2. Scope agreed? writes the schedule or sends the brief back.
    3. Notes sent is shared. A rewrite still needs a record of what was said.
    4. Done ends the meeting. The schedule is not the whole project plan.
