The Action Meeting: A Guide to Effective Collaboration
The action meeting is a highly structured and collaborative weekly meeting that aims to unblock work and ensure clear communication within a team. The meeting consists of several steps: check-in round, checklist or habit review, metrics review, project updates, building the agenda, processing the agenda, and a closing round. Each step has a specific purpose, such as fostering psychological safety, tracking team metrics, and addressing current projects and needs. The meeting is designed to empower team members by allowing them to bring their own triage items, make requests, and take ownership of their work. It promotes autonomy and accountability while providing a platform for open and transparent collaboration among team members. As a result, the action meeting enables teams to be adaptive, efficient, and aligned in their work.
