And it doesn’t help that you are responsible for leading some of them! So, creating a good project meeting should be important to you.


We’ve all seen the endless tip lists for good meetings:
• Set an agenda in advance
• Invite the right people only
• Start on time
• Make sure everyone gets to contribute
• Use a parking lot to avoid getting side-tracked
• Summarize and conclude as you go
• Write down actions on a board
• Follow up

And blah, blah, blah...

Been there, done that!
All these tips assume that your meeting follows a pretty standard pattern.

But how often do you sit down, in a quiet place, with enough time, and design your project meetings?

What? Design a Meeting?
If I said you need to facilitate a two-day workshop, I bet you would spend between two and ten days designing and planning it.

It’s important. Maybe 6 to 12 people are putting in a couple of days of their time. And the workshop needs to produce results.

But project meetings? They’re just an hour…
An hour a month, that is.
...or maybe an hour a fortnight.
...or perhaps an hour a week.

And how long is your project?
Six months?
...a year
...or two?

Let's take an 18-month project say
This is a reasonable average for the sort of business projects I used to run.
And assume you have a team of six people, meeting monthly.
And each meeting lasts an hour each time...

That’s over 100 staff hours.
That’s about the same as those six people attending a two-day workshop.

Do you get it now?
Why aren’t you putting a couple of days over the course of your project, into designing and reviewing your project meetings?\n
