EP7: Structuring Meetings for Success: Write, Align, and Act
In this episode of Beyond the Build, we dive deep into the art of running effective engineering meetings.
We break down different types of meetings, when you should prep with documents (and how to write good pre-reads), how to align with key people before a big meeting, and why every meeting should have clear outcomes before it even starts.
We also discuss how to structure meetings based on who's attending, the power of AI tools to automate note-taking, and how to turn meetings into action—not just another calendar event.
Whether you’re a tech lead or an engineer, you’ll get practical tips to make your meetings shorter, more effective, and outcome-driven.
Tune in to transform your meetings from time-wasters into powerful tools for team alignment and productivity!
