Name: Agile PM Roundtable: Effective Meetings in the Year 2025
Start: 2025-04-17T07:00:00-07:00

Organizations exists to solve problems that no one person can solve on their own. By definition, this requires that people work *together* to accomplish goals. And there is no more visible embodiment of people working together than...a meeting. Yet there is no other organizational activity that garners more loathing than...a meeting.

At this month's Agile PM Roundtable, we'll explore the dynamics around meetings, what can make them awful experiences, and what can make them awesome experiences, especially in the year 2025 in which we have so many tools for (and ways of!) working.

Do you attend a lot of meetings? What are some signs that a meeting was effective? Do you host a lot of meetings? What lessons have you learned along the way to ensure that people are engaged and precious time is well-spent? How do meetings fit into your palette of communication tools along with email, chat, and ad hoc conversations? (Should we bring back the business phone call?)

The Agile PM Roundtable uses Lean Coffee to quickly source the topics that are most interesting to the people who attend and puts you, the participants, in control of the conversation. It makes for a lively and often surprising discussion in which we all have an opportunity to contribute our knowledge and learn from the experiences of others.

AgilePDX in conjunction with the Portland PMI chapter provides a forum for Agile Project Managers, Agile Facilitators, and Scrum Masters to gather online once a month and discuss all things project, program, and portfolio related. Please join us for a Lean Coffee style event facilitated by experienced Agile PM's and instructors in the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner prep program.

You'll be dialing in from your desktop with your favorite early morning brew. Please join with your camera on. The Zoom URL will be provided to confirmed attendees. Feel free to post questions to this meetup prior to the event.

We welcome divergent opinions and experience reports. Bring your challenges for groups feedback and support.
