Metronomics quarterly planning is the reset that keeps the whole rhythm honest. Based on the Metronomics system by Shannon Susko, it gives the leadership team a full day to score the last quarter, reconnect to the 3HAG, refresh the team scoreboard, and set the handful of priorities that define the next ninety days.
Run it every quarter, ideally in the week or two before the new quarter begins so owners start clean. It is the anchor session that the daily, weekly, and monthly meetings then execute. Skipping a quarter is how a rhythm quietly loses its direction.
The leadership team, five to twelve people who will own quarterly priorities and build functional plans. A skilled facilitator, sometimes an external coach, helps the most senior leader participate as a thinker rather than spend the day running the room.
Begin with an honest quarter in review, scoring priorities and reading the numbers. Reconnect to the 3HAG and annual plan so the new quarter serves the longer game, then refresh the team scoreboard. Set a small number of quarterly priorities with clear definitions of done and single owners. Let each function build a supporting plan and surface dependencies, then lock the set, agree the cascade, and confirm the weekly rhythm that will carry it. A quarter with no operating cadence drifts within weeks.
Set a quarter the team can actually execute. Run it in OrgTP and connect quarterly priorities to your scoreboard and weekly cadence.
