Meetings
Meeting closing
End with everybody holding the same version of what happened.
The last two minutes of a meeting.
The shape
- Decisions
- Actions
- Owners
- Timelines
- Confirm
Why that order
The confirmation is the step that gets dropped, and it is the only one that catches a person who understood it differently while there is still time.
A worked example
Before we close: we decided to delay the release. Priya owns the revised plan. The new target is Monday. Is everyone aligned on that?
Built from
An application framework is a package. These are the reusable shapes inside it.
Mostly serves Message, and reaches into Connection.
A framework tells you what shape the answer takes. It cannot tell you whether shape is what you are short of, and for most people it is not. Which one is yours, and whether a framework is the right instrument at all, is what a Discovery Call is for.
