Generally try to start from the need and derive the form. Instead of asking what should we do in the weekly meeting ask why do we have a weekly meeting, and either you have a goal for that and use a format that fulfills that goal, or you don't and get rid of the meeting.
> I'm still trying to figure out a good model. Daily stand-ups?
One that I have used a few times with success was the right to left stand-up - instead of focusing on people, focus on what it takes to move a given task to the next column, starting from the rightmost tasks (finish work instead of starting it). This changes the stand-up from a status report to action planning. Some teams don't like that though, especially when people have some years of training in the standard yesterday I did X and today I'll do Y delivery, but I'll say worth a try depending on what you want from your stand-up once again.
- tinyhouse 5y agoFocusing on the tasks rather than what each has been doing - I like the idea a lot. I will try to implement it. Thank you!
