Meetings

Weekly

Goals

The main goal of weekly meetings is to align the company’s vision with the team and the work we need to do to reach it in the next 7 days. We also use it to discuss if someone is blocked and needs some help.

At the end of the meeting, everyone can answer the questions:

  • What are the desired long-term results of our company's efforts?
  • What do I need to do this week to achieve these results?
  • If I’m blocked, do I expose it clearly to the team, and do I have someone to support me?

Duration

Maximum of 25 minutes. We don’t need more than this time to align the vision and the weekly work priorities.

Don’ts

We don’t use this meeting to:

  • Discuss specific details of implementation. Each team member should schedule different appointments with their respective leads to discuss specific domain details.
  • Discuss blocking issues. The blocked person will discuss it with the leads in another meeting.
  • Status report. We don’t need to do status reports because the Kanban boards already provide them.
