Abstract: “Agile has too many meetings.” “Our meetings are a waste of time.” “It’s always the same two people talking while everyone else is on their phones or laptops.” Indeed, meetings are often pretty bad… but they are also necessary. Agile teams can’t fully implement the 3 C’s (communication, collaboration, and consensus) only by inhabiting an open space or using a messaging tool. As it turns out, it doesn’t take much to make meetings effective, collaborative, and something to look forward to. Come to this experiential session to learn 10 simple changes you can make – without having to become a professional facilitator – to make your meetings matter.
Learning Outcomes: - Identify the elements of meeting design and flow that encourage everyone to participate helpfully
- Apply a simple yet powerful process for designing collaborative conversations
- Upgrade your facilitation style with small changes that make a big difference
