Intro

Meetings are a great place to create the culture of a company.
AboutUs is a fun, vibrant & engaged place to work–let's carry this culture through to the meetings.

Suggestion

  • Establish some ground rules for meetings:
  • Every meeting has a facilitator.

Teach facilitation skills. Suggestion: 4 folks take a 1hour facilitation workshop. They then, teach 2 others the skills they learned. Share the responsibilty for facilitation.

  • Roles: facilitator, note taker (uploads notes to ProjectPage), project page updater, vibes watcher, time keeper.

Agenda Item

  • Meeting Times: Having planning meetings on Friday afternoon might not be the most productive time. In general, folks are trying to clear their plates for the weekend, are most likely tired from a long week, & looking forward to LEAVING.
  • One large issue meeting a day.
  • Consensus?
  • what role can consensus polling take?
  • The law of two feet.
  • Respect: Talking over people, space to let everyone speak up,
  • Follow through: notes are put up, project page is reoriented, Leave the meeting with clear actions delegated. Next meeting is set & facilitator chosen.
