The VA Communication Playbook: Weekly Check-Ins, Task Boards, and “No Surprises” Updates

Many delegation problems are communication problems. Business owners want support that “just runs,” while VAs need clear priorities, context, and a predictable way to report progress. The solution is a simple communication playbook.

A communication playbook includes three parts

• Where tasks live

• How updates are shared

• How questions and decisions are handled

Part 1: One task hub
Pick one system (the tool matters less than consistency). The rule is simple: every task goes there.

Part 2: A weekly update structure
A great weekly update includes:

• Completed this week

• In progress / pending

• Blocked / waiting on you

• Questions and decisions needed

• Next week priorities

Part 3: Decision rules
Clarify:

• What your VA can decide independently

• What requires approval

• What counts as urgent and how it should be flagged
