Standing Agenda for Weekly Distributed Team Meetings
I am not currently managing any distributed teams. However, I used to and we always struggled with effective team meetings. Through trial and error we came up with the agenda below. This was a waterfall project and the agenda reflects that.
Development
- What modules are completed ready for handoff to QA?
- What modules are expected to be completed this week?
- Proposed changes to code already handed off to QA (refactoring, new features, non-QA generated bug fixes, re-organization of repository, etc.)
- Any additional tasks that have been identified
- Current target milestone date(s) – reason for delta (if any)
Test
- What modules has testing been completed?
- What modules are expected to be tested this week?
- Any blocking issues or high priority bugs outstanding?
- Any additional tasks that have been identified
- Current target milestone date(s) – reason for delta (if any)
