Work BBQ Planning Meeting πŸ”πŸ”₯

We planned our BBQ on a rooftop with live music and unlimited food! Assigning clear roles (Chair, Notetaker, Timekeeper) made the meeting efficient. The exercise reminded me how important it is to define actions vs. decisions, and to track responsibility with deadlines.

Attendees
  • Sanaz (Chair)

  • Minoo (Notetaker)

  • Nazan (Timekeeper)

  • Tahsin (Entertainment Coordinator)

Frank is always the note taker, and David is always the Chair and Attendees.Β

They started without everyone there who was meant to be in attendance. The anger at the minute taker was quite harsh.Β  They listened to everyone in the meeting which was good but it seemed rather disorganised.

The should've waited a couple of minutes (for any late attendees) before starting the meeting. 5 minutes are usually acceptable.Β  It seems the notetaker is not new and is always the notetaker, but isn't quite sure what he needs to be taking note of. It would be good for them to discuss what is necessary and what not beforehand to avoid so many pointless interruptions. A timekeeper could be useful to ensure that there aren't too many pointless interruptions.

It is good that they had a dedicated chair and notetaker. It is also good that everyone had a chance to voice anything they felt was needed.
