Running Your Quarterly Planning
How to set up the next quarter in StartConsole during your Q-Plan session.
The Q-Plan session is where you configure StartConsole for the coming quarter. You will set OKR targets, confirm which initiatives are active, check that capacity matches demand, and run any gate reviews that are queued. By the end of this session, StartConsole should reflect your agreed plan — not a draft.
Frequency:Quarterly
Duration:3–4 hours
StartConsole pages used: OKRs · Initiatives · Capacity · Planning
Attendees: Strategy Lead · Portfolio Leads · PMO Director · Finance Director
Before the Meeting
Complete the QBR for the closing quarter first. Carry-forward decisions from the QBR — which initiatives continue, which are cancelled — should be recorded before Q-Plan begins so you are not re-litigating the previous quarter during planning.
