Re: Tech meetings

Re: Tech meetings
I've found both as a manager in Oracle and in Miracle that if you schedule
regular meetings with the guys (and girls), then they start not showing up
after a while, or the meetings become boring. If you don't hold regular meetings
they'll complain and wish for regular meetings.
So I've come up with this model:
1st meeting
2nd meeting after a week
3rd meeting after two weeks
4th meeting after four weeks
5th meeting after eight weeks (around here or at next iteration they start
complaining...)
6th meeting after a week...
7th meeting after two weeks...

RE: Tech meetings
I never liked those 'Power Lunch' meetings, even if the lunch was provided by the employer ( back when they had budgets for thost things :) I always believed, and still do, that those '30-minutes' are for me. It's my lunch time. It's time for a break from the non-stop work. And while I am eating my lunch, I would like to enjoy it without any distractions. Needless to say, I never attended those 'brown bag lunch' meetings! In my previous job, our boss tried an early morning 'breakfast' meetings (at 6:30am). He was the only one who showed up with 2-dz donuts! We ate those for lunch :) In my current job, we had 'alternate Friday' DBA tech meetings with circulating 'donut duty'. That lasted for a few months.. when we discussed some techie DBA things.. But, as workload grew, prople would show up to pickup their donut and head back to their cubes... Past several years, we just do our 'donut duty'. For any pressing techie issue, we just gather around cubes and get it over with Things, and how we do our jobs, have changed over the years, as well as our priorities... ;) - Kirti --- Eberhard, Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When I first began working here years ago we had a scheduled lunch meeting/training every Friday for the IS Department.

RE: Tech meetings
We had these at the last place I was at... The senior folks from the various teams would get together... One person or group was designated to present a topic for the next meeting... Neat idea but it failed at that location... The reason? The VP of App Dev decided he wanted to attend the meetings... Which meant we spent every meeting teaching him the basics and never really getting to the good stuff... It ended up being a huge waste of time for the majority of the people in the room...

RE: Tech meetings
Title: Message Don't know if what we do in our shop here qualifies for your question or not, but our dev groups do "stand-up meetings." Relatively quick meetings (that can be done standing up; no meeting rooms required) that are usually finished in about 20 minutes. In the stand-ups, we get heads-up for things and specifications that might be coming down the pipeline from the product management and design side. We get a quick update on the state of deployment (what version has rolled into production, what version is in the QA pipeline) and what the next impending set of changes are about to get pushed onto the dev servers. If there's any potential "gotcha"s that have been experienced (especially on the coding front) they get publicized in the stand-ups as well. The main point of our stand-ups are to make sure that all the developers are relatively aware of the scheduling and direction of the product, and to highlight any programming difficulties and workarounds that might arise so that when different developers hit those gotchas, they'll already know that a solution might already. These stand-up meetings are basically within a development team/group. Project leads have their own meetings with the product management group. So essentially, the product manager has his own meetings; then the product manager has meetings with the dev project leads to convey what they want in the next iteration of the product; the project leads then present these to the dev group in a stand-up meeting. -Original Message-From: M.Godlewski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 12:30 PMTo: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: Tech meetings List, Just wondering if your organization has tech meetings, and what is discussed and what the goals of the meetings are?

A little of both! I would think there is some how do plan to do this, or why is that the recommended way of doing it type questions and answers sessions.
