30 Rules to Follow for an Effective Team MeetingWeekdone.com
Most professionals waste almost 3.8 hours a week on unproductive, poorly prepared meetings. We need a solution.
Weekdone (https://weekdone.com) built a fun free interactive meeting assistant Team Meeting Checklist (http://teammeetingchecklist.com) that helps save time and increase focus on these time consuming meetings.
Taking together different researches we came up with a list of guidelines that offer a pretty clear glimpse to how an effective team meeting should look like. Going through the list one by one might be time-consuming, which is why we built the interactive version of the list called Team Meeting Checklist.
Quoting ArcticStartup: "Real secret ingredient of the meeting manager lies in the checklist, or the list of 25 criteria, which, according to Weekdone, takes no more than 5 minutes to go through (while potentially saving several working hours that would've otherwise been lost due to crappy meeting orchestration)".
The idea behind Team Meeting Checklist is simple: before each gathering, the team leader takes 5 minutes to go through the checklist and create a meeting invite including the most crucial details. The system will send an automatically compiled email to all participants, summarizing details and ground rules for the upcoming meeting. This simple solution acts as a meeting reminder for the participants and social pressure tool to honor the effective meeting criteria for the leader. Furthermore, it provides a fantastic base for giving feedback and reflecting on the progress.
Which are the guidelines you tend to forget the most?

Scrumban combines the best of Scrum and Kanban for whole value stream management.

Sudokuban is a Kanban in practice example activity that takes about 20-25 minutes to run. This is the slidepack that goes with the game to briefly introduce Kanban before the game and then give some more in depth information afterwards.
The benefit of a Sudoku based game is that it mimics the software development process more closely - ie requires in depth, concentrated effort, where pairing could hamper the concentration.
The sudoku game pack comprises of 12 sudoku puzzles, setup partly in progress in flow with low WIP limits. Quality issues are embedded into the pack to ensure that failure occurs immediately and WIP constraints get met to force the change in behaviour.
Expedites are added part way in (two closely together) to form behaviour around handling them.
Team will generally learn:
1) How to use WIP limits
2) How to swarm to remove blockers
3) How to handle expedites
4) To re-prioritise according to value
5) The value of someone still looking out for the team's flow

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
