I’ve seen a lot of meetings go sideways. And with the events of the past few years, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in remote work – and communication challenges for organizations that aren’t adapting to current circumstances.
Dear reader, I’d love to save you some trouble there.
What Do I Mean by “Feedback Loops”?
In software development, feedback loops are key. If we can iterate 10 times on something while our competitors are still getting their shoes on, chances are we’re going to come out ahead. This ability to adapt and respond to change is one of the driving forces at the heart of agile software development. Many loops exist all over our organizations, and the more we improve those loops, the more we improve our organization.
Meetings are A Crucial Form of Loops
They involve scheduling and logistical acrobatics, they steal focus, they cost a lot of money, and they often lead to more follow-ups and work (not to mention more meetings.)
What can we do to get ahead of and shrink these expensive feedback loops?
