New to L10 meetings? Start with our guide on what an L10 meeting is and how it works before diving into templates and tools.
What We’ll Cover
Weekly L10 meetings are the heartbeat of EOS®. But most teams struggle to run them well. Meetings drift. Scorecards get ignored. Rocks lose visibility. Issues pile up without resolution. If you’re searching for L10 meeting software or better EOS® implementation tools, you’re likely trying to fix exactly this.
We’ve built and optimized dozens of EOS® systems inside monday.com, and the difference between a messy L10 and a high-performing one consistently comes down to structure and tooling. Here’s what actually works.
Why most L10 meetings fall apart
On paper, the L10 is simple. In practice, it breaks down fast. Common issues we see:
- Scorecards live in spreadsheets no one consistently updates
- Rocks are tracked in random places with no connection to execution
- Issues lists become dumping grounds rather than action queues
- Meetings turn into status updates instead of IDS-driven problem solving
The root problem is not EOS® itself. It’s the lack of a system behind it. EOS® was designed to be simple. But growing teams need visibility, automation, and accountability across departments — and that requires more than a shared document.
EOS® works because of discipline. When the system makes it easy to be disciplined — when updates happen automatically, issues surface in the right place, and the L10 agenda is always ready — teams execute. When it requires manual effort at every step, discipline erodes.
The five core EOS® toolkit components
EOS® scorecard template
- 5–15 measurable weekly metrics with a clear owner for each
- Red/green status visibility at a glance
- Automated updates where possible — no manual spreadsheet maintenance
- Historical tracking so trends are visible over time
Quarterly rocks tracking
- Clear ownership for every rock
- Progress status updated and reviewed weekly
- Visibility across teams and leadership
- Alignment with company-level priorities
- Tied directly into the L10 workflow so rocks are reviewed consistently
EOS® issues list management
- Capture issues in real time with enough context to IDS them properly
- Prioritization built in so the most important issues surface first
- Track decisions and outcomes with clear ownership
- Prevent the same issue from resurfacing because it was never fully resolved
VTO digital template
- Connect long-term vision to weekly execution
- Reference goals during L10 meetings and quarterly planning
- Keep leadership aligned on the direction
- A living document, not a filed-away artifact
L10 meeting software
- Centralize scorecards, rocks, and issues in one place
- Pre-built agenda that follows the proven EOS® structure
- Automate reminders and status changes
- Full meeting history for accountability and reference
How OrangeDot builds EOS® systems that actually work
We’ve seen every version of EOS® implementation: spreadsheets, Notion docs, whiteboards, sticky notes. They all work — until they don’t. Our approach is simple: build EOS® inside a system your team already uses daily. That’s why we use monday.com as the foundation for our EOS® implementation.
Instead of layering EOS® on top of disconnected tools, we integrate everything:
- Scorecards auto-update from real data sources where possible
- Rocks are tied to actual project execution, not just a status field
- Issues lists become actionable workflows, not just a list to read aloud
- L10 agendas are pre-built and repeatable — every meeting starts from the same structure
The result: you remove friction, increase accountability, and your L10 meetings stop feeling like meetings to get through. They become the 90 minutes each week where the most important problems get solved and the business moves forward.

FAQs
What is the best L10 meeting software?
The best tool is one that integrates with your daily workflows. Many teams use monday.com because it combines project management with EOS® structure in one place — so EOS® isn’t a separate tool, it’s embedded in how the business already operates. Dedicated EOS® tools like Ninety are also strong options for getting started quickly.
Do I need software to run EOS®?
No. EOS® can be run on paper or in spreadsheets. But software improves consistency, visibility, and accountability as your team grows — and removes the manual friction that causes EOS® disciplines to slip over time.
How do you track quarterly rocks effectively?
Use a centralized system with clear ownership, weekly update expectations, and visibility during every L10 meeting. Avoid tracking rocks in tools separate from the rest of your EOS® system. The more integrated the tracking, the more likely it gets maintained consistently.
What are EOS® implementation tools?
EOS® implementation tools include scorecards, VTO templates, issues lists, rocks boards, and meeting structures. When configured as a connected system rather than separate documents and spreadsheets, they become the operational infrastructure that makes EOS® scalable and sustainable as your team grows.
