Teams moving to an Agile software development process may end up feeling irritated as they move from command-and-control to a collaborative culture - which can start to look like non-stop meetings, starting first thing every Monday morning. In this InfoQ exclusive presentation, recorded at Agile2007, Agile coach Jean Tabaka shared her experience in working with teams that are feeling a burden of meetings due to their move to Agile, providing guidance around how to alleviate meeting burnout.
Tabaka addresses questions such as:
- How can teams hold effective, decisive meetings?
- How can agile coaches ensure useful, goal-focused meetings?
- What flows and patterns of meetings can help teams, product owners, and stakeholders derive ever increasing benefits from adopting an Agile process?
This presentation is intended to help viewers evaluate their own meeting messes and take away specific information about how to clean them up. Jean Tabaka is the author of the book "Collaboration Explained" that provides more detailed information on the subjects introduced in this video.
