Recognize the Problems That Prevent Effective Meetings (Collocated, Remote, Hybrid) - Johanna Rothman, Management Consultant

Great meetings have an outcome:

• Decisions: Discuss problems to come to a decision. This includes ranking the backlog, deciding on the project portfolio, and possibly impediment identification and removal. Whatever this discussion is, it leads to a decision. These decisions might create action items.
• Work product: Collaborate to create a work product. This might be story creation and refinement, experiment creation, or any kind of outcome that the team will use to inform its future work.

Then, there are the status or information dissemination meetings. Stop them. Don’t go.
