The Exercise
Simply run through this checklist with the team to see if you need to make any changes to the way your team meetings run:
- If you have team ground rules, review how well they have been followed. How can you improve?
- If you don’t yet have an agreed set of team ground rules:
- Review who contributed most, and who least, to the meeting. Is that always the same? How might that be improved?
- Is everything that needs to be talked about actually getting talked about?
- Ask how well real data is used in the discussions. How could that be improved?
- Review how much discussion there was of alternative options before any decisions were made. How might that be improved?
In either case, what improvements do you need to make?
