The Heartbeat of Your Business: Meeting Cadence
What is it?
A meeting cadence is the predictable rhythm of syncs that keeps your team aligned. Without it, you get two extremes: either \"Meeting Hell\" (where you talk all day and do nothing) or \"The Silo\" (where no one talks and everyone builds the wrong thing).Why is it important?
Predictability reduces anxiety. If a developer knows there is a specific time (Weekly Review) to show their work, they won't bombard you with Slack updates every hour. If a VA knows there is a Daily Standup, they will structure their day to have something to report.The Ideal Remote Cadence:
-
Daily Standup (15 min / Async): Ideally done in Slack.
\"What did I do yesterday? What am I doing today? Any blockers?\" - Weekly Sprint Planning (1 Hour / Sync): Monday morning. Review metrics from last week. Set the 3 top priorities for this week.
-
Weekly Review/Demo (1 Hour / Sync): Friday afternoon. The team \"shows their work.\"
Example: The designer shares the screen to show the new ad creatives. This is your QA moment. - Monthly Strategy (2 Hours / Sync): Zoom out. Are we hitting the quarterly goals? Do we need to pivot?
Beginner's Mistake
Don't let the Daily Standup turn into a 45-minute problem-solving session. If a problem comes up, say: \"Let's take that offline,\" and discuss it with only the relevant people after the standup.
