How to build a 90-day growth plan

By [Founder Name]2026-10-016 min read
The short answer

A good 90-day growth plan fits on one page: one measurable goal, the constraint you're fixing, no more than three priorities, an owner and a weekly measure for each, and a fixed review every two weeks. Anything that doesn't serve the goal goes on a 'not now' list.

Why 90 days

Ninety days is long enough to finish real work and short enough to stay focused. Annual plans drift; weekly plans react. A quarter is the right size for fixing one constraint properly.

The one-page structure

SectionWhat to write
GoalOne number and a date, e.g. "repeat purchase rate from X% to Y% by 31 March".
ConstraintThe single thing most limiting growth now, with the evidence.
Priorities (max 3)The projects that attack the constraint.
OwnersOne named person per priority.
Weekly measuresA leading indicator for each priority.
Not nowGood ideas you are deliberately postponing.
Review rhythmA 30-minute check every two weeks; a full review at day 90.

How to run it

  1. Week 1: agree the goal, constraint and priorities with the people who will do the work.
  2. Every week: each owner updates their measure in one shared sheet.
  3. Every two weeks: 30 minutes: what moved, what's stuck, what we'll change.
  4. Day 90: did we hit the goal? What's the next constraint?

Common mistakes

  • Too many priorities, so nothing gets finished.
  • Measures nobody checks until the end.
  • No "not now" list, so new ideas quietly take over.
