Headlines Intro

Headlines: Keep Everyone Informed, Aligned, and Connected

As your startup grows, communication becomes harder to manage. Important updates get buried in chats, wins go unnoticed, and issues arrive too late. When teams do not have a clear place to share what matters, alignment starts to slip. That is why Headlines in Wave exist. They help your team surface key updates in a simple, visible way that keeps everyone on the same page.

What Are Headlines?

Headlines are short, focused updates that highlight what your team needs to know. They can be wins, announcements, reminders, or issues that need visibility. Unlike chat threads or scattered messages, Headlines stay organized, searchable, and easy for the entire team to review.

Think of Headlines as your company’s running news feed — a quick glance that shows everything important happening across the business.

Why Headlines Matter

Clarity strengthens teams. When everyone knows the key updates each week, communication improves and alignment becomes easier to maintain.

Headlines help your team:

• Share wins. Celebrate progress and keep morale high.
• Surface issues. Bring attention to problems before they grow.
• Stay informed. Everyone sees the same updates in one place.
• Reduce noise. Replace scattered messages with a clean, organized feed.
• Support decisions. Leadership stays aware of what is happening across teams.

With consistent use, Headlines become one of the easiest ways to stay aligned without adding extra meetings or messages.
