Optimize weekly meeting time
Many teams jump over to the 'Get Stuff Done' (or GSD) view for the Issues + challenges section of their team weekly priorities meeting. It's accessible via the view toolbar at the top right of the weekly meeting/team priorities page:
60% of your weekly priorities meeting should be spent reviewing problems that have arisen and making decisions about priorities for the week ahead. In this phase of the weekly meeting, you and your team dive into details of the important issues and challenges that need to be talked through.
The GSD view makes it easy to focus in what's due and what's blocked. Items should be moving from Priorities due to Priorities done, and if they aren't moving in that direction, they should go into the Issues + challenges column if they aren't.
Sort low priority items into park for later to focus on later. For best results, your team leader should sort the items in each column in order of priority ahead of the meeting, so that you can move through them in order.
The intention is to methodically work through as many of these issues as you can in the time allotted, taking no more than 10 minutes on each unless there are special circumstances.
Best practice: if you need more than 10 minutes to work through an issue, you should create an action item to schedule a work-session in the week ahead with the right people. This prevents one or two issues from overshadowing others of similar importance.
Keep the big picture in focus between meetings
Many ResultMaps users access the GSD view over the course of the week, in between weekly meetings, to stay aligned on team priorities.
Any item you add to your prioritizer, or to a project, can be added to your team weekly priorities ahead of your next meeting. Do so by clicking the cog icon >> organize >> team priorities, then selecting the appropriate section of the team weekly dashboard.
If at any time you want to pull something from your team weekly dashboard into your personal priorities for the day, click the cog icon >> organize >> personal prioritizer.
