Are you Sprinting or Sagging through your meetings?

Feeling swamped by back-to-back meetings? You’re not alone! Ever find yourself questioning how your calendar became a jigsaw of meetings? It’s not that we’re against brainstorming or catching up with teammates. It’s about finding that sweet spot between exchanging ideas and getting things done. Sprint may be your answer. But there are other considerations along the way.

How can we navigate this sea of meetings without losing sight of productivity?

🕒 Set the agenda early – Get a head start on the discussion points to cut down on the initial chit-chat.

⏱ Rethink meeting lengths – Why not switch from the default 60 minutes to a brisk 30? It encourages straight-to-the-point discussions.

📝 Follow up promptly – Distribute minutes and action items within an hour post-meeting to keep details fresh and actionable.

📧 Email or meet? – Sometimes, a quick email can save you an hour-long meeting.

Thinking it’s time for a meeting makeover? Time to sprint vs. sag in your meetings? Consider exploring the Scrum meeting framework for a more structured approach.
