Summary


A status meeting is exactly that—a meeting to share the status of something. They're important for keeping the business running. If the meeting stays focused on that goal of keeping the operation informed, then the meeting stays valuable and productive. Groups can also use tools, such as meeting agendas and the parking lot, to keep the conversation on track.

How often you conduct a status meeting is based on the status you're sharing. It can range from daily to annually. The goal is to create a balance between holding them enough to get good information but not so much that participants get bored.

In the next chapter, we're going to talk about another kind of sharing meeting—brainstorming.
