How to run recurring virtual meetings efficiently
-
Start with a checkin question for connection (10% of the meeting length)
-
Capture decisions made
-
Capture open action items
- and check in on open ones every time, otherwise they get lost/forgotten due to poor personal execution
-
Align on discussion topics
-
All participants braindump all the discussion topics they want to cover
-
Quickly vote, everybody gets 3 votes to vote for the 3 discussion topics they think we really need to cover this time
-
Meeting host responsible for final order based on vote & their taste
-
Keep track of outstanding discussion topics from last time that werenโt covered
-
