People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything -Thomas Sowell

You know as well as we do that using an agile method within a company is the best way to gain efficiency and manage projects with transparency.

Agile can be daunting - and counter-productive if get caught up in the quagmires of sprints, plannings, etc.
The best way is to start simple - and the simplest way to start is by holding daily stand up meetings with your team.

I. How to enable your team to collaborate effectively 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Your meetings are often very long - and that's why a lot of important information goes by the wayside.

A stand up meeting is a form of meeting that is usually very short and focuses on the work in progress and progress that has been made: Transparency between teams is therefore at the heart of your project.

The format is quite informal since this meeting is standing up - but that's why this method is more dynamic.

Teams share their progress, challenges and questions - each morning and all in 15-20 minutes!

II. How to improve transparency between teams, through the stand up meeting 🌊

Stand up meetings are the way to keep your teams focused, save time and most importantly avoid the unnecessary conversations present in all meetings.

The spirit of collaboration is maintained, and above all teamwork takes on its full importance - the idea is to share everything in order to solve problems together.

And it is this efficiency and speed that your current meetings lack.

III. All the keys to put this new method into practice 🤝

To start revolutionizing and energizing your meetings, things are simple!

• Obviously, you need to define the purpose, rules and duration of the meeting (no more than 20 minutes - don't fall back into your ways). Do it once and for all - simply communicate that document to your team and stick to it.
• Announce the time and plan the meeting with all participants
• Conduct the meeting (don't forget to go around the table first)
• Discuss all items to be covered in turn.
• End the meeting by planning next steps and short-term goals.

💡The key takeaway:

The stand up meeting will allow your teams to feel like they are listening, in a caring environment where each person helps each other grow.

Participants share their progress and concerns and align on future plans.

Each member can talk freely about these challenges - and that's what makes the big difference.
