Meetings

We have a small number of regular meetings. Generally, standing meetings are an anti-pattern and most things are better resolved adhoc/async.

Weekly Meetings

Monday kick off

• “What is your focus of the week?”
• Full team, 15 minutes
• Everyone has 1 minute. Be prepared to be specific about the major work items.
• Goal:
  • Help everyone with accountability/focus for the week
  • Identify dependencies
  • Create opportunities for others to make quick suggestions/share context

Friday Demo

• “What did you get shipped this week?”
• Full team, 60 minutes
• Everyone has 2-4 minutes
• Usually this involves screen sharing, but can also be a verbal summary.
• Goal:
  • celebrate wins
  • share context of what is going on
  • share learnings

We recorded a weekly demo for you, just see for yourself:
