The 10 minute Standing meeting

The 10 minute Standing meeting
Originally uploaded by Sagar Chandratrey.

In one of our meetings,Deepu informed us about an initiative in one of his friends' company.

The initiative was called 'The standing meeting'.This meeting was for taking a daily update of the tasks alloted and to make sure that everything was fine within the project in terms of deliverables.

The company used to bid for fixed cost projects which meant that the client could sue the company if there was a delay even of one day.

The team liked this initiative and decided to give it a try.

We have been having the '10 minute standing meeting every day' since the past 10 days and we feel that its a very good practice.

We have been doing well on the deliverables and the team members know at the very start of the day as to what they have to do in that day.
