What are some tips to run effective engineering meetings
If you could permanently eliminate one workplace meeting from your calendar, which type would it be and why? I’d probably choose status meetings where everyone simply reads updates that could have been sent in an email. Curious what everyone else would remove.
I've been stuck in a pure maintenance cycle for six months, and I'm starting to feel like a script-runner instead of an engineer. I'm trying to move into a senior-level job, and I worry about stagnating, but I'm not sure what to do. Is this a common issue with engineers who hope to level up?
What’s something that seemed critically important early in your career but matters much less to you now? For me, being the smartest person in the room has become a lot less important than being part of a strong team.
What engineering discipline would you recommend new students specialize in (or avoid) given the current/future job market?
💭 If you were let go from your job tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?
Keep the discussion to items the affect the entire team/multiple disciplines. Anything super specific to a single discipline can be set aside for a side bar discussion.
I'd make sure to have some sort of agenda that you can pass out to people so that they can see what's going to be discussed in the meeting and think about any questions or comments that they may have. On top of that I'd always make sure that people are comfortable talking in meetings and creating a collaborative environment.
I think you should have an agenda that is sent out pre meeting and whatever relevant information as well so stakeholders can prepare for your meeting and allow the meeting to be of value rather than it be the first time they see it.
I share my screen with the meeting agenda on it, and try to keep the yapping to a minimum.
