Personal Q&A

  • How do you like to run meetings?

    I like to start weekly team meetings with an activity or a random question. It's a great way to get to know each other, particularly if there are team members located in different countries and don't get so see each other in person. I also like structure, so I like to have an agenda where everyone adds items before hand. It makes meetings more efficient in my opinion.
