Deliver impact that fits requirements with minimal effort.

Meetings

  • Weekly meetings to have the below types of agenda items, and be flexible on the period.
  • Monthly meetings with leaders to have the below types of agenda items.
  • On-demand text/oral discussions to have the below types of agenda items.
  • An instant messaging group like a channel in Slack to have text records, quick text syncs, and requesting oral syncs.
  • Note each series of meetings should have the same people to maintain the same context, which makes the communication efficient.

Agenda Item Types

  • Review
