The way Amazon does one-pagers is sort of unique.
- xchaotic 9y agoYou mean on six pages? ;)
- sumitgt 9y agoThe 20 minute quiet reading in the beginning is kinda different. At the other companies I've worked for, you were expected to come to the meeting having read the docs sent over email.
- sushisource 9y agoThe Amazon way appeals to me because in my experience pretty much no one ever does the pre-reading.
- jdbernard 9y agoAnd even if they do chances are they've context switched enough since reading that most of the details are lost.
- RandomOpinion 9y ago> At the other companies I've worked for, you were expected to come to the meeting having read the docs sent over email. It may be expected but large numbers of people don't do it. The 20 min. thing is a bit odd but I can see how it could be a net positive.
- wtetzner 9y agoYeah, although the 20 minute reading seems better to me. For one thing, it means everyone in the meeting has actually read the docs. But it also means that it's fresh in everyone's mind when the meeting actually starts.
