Shift-Start Check and Callout Card

A one-page card for the start-of-shift huddle: the seven readiness checks, the callout format, and the starved, constrained, or blocked table.

The problem it solves

Huddles drift into announcements. Problems get raised late, vaguely, and without an owner.

What is inside

• Seven checks for a steady shift
• The Where, What, Impact, Need callout format with an example
• Close-the-loop rules
• Starved, constrained, or blocked at a glance
• Blanks for today's cutoff, constraint, release target, and owner

Who it is for

Leads and supervisors running a daily huddle. Print one per area.

Templates use bracketed placeholders such as [Company], [low] to [high], and [threshold]. Illustrative values are examples, not targets.
