Effective team meetings
I’m a team leader of a team of 8 programmers in a company of about 20 technical people. They’re working on a range of projects, these projects also involve people from other teams that are outside of my control. My organisation is not doing proper agile development, and they’re somewhat resistant to change, but I’ve been holding daily stand up meetings within my team and we’ve all been finding them useful and everyone is engaged and we’re done within 10-15 minutes. I also have weekly individual catch ups with every team member where we discuss various general topics (both technical and non-technical) in more detail, as well as various ad-hoc topical meetings.
