Chris Fenning shows how to track whether a meeting is actually producing what you said it would. Halfway through, you should have roughly half your deliverables done. If not, you speed up, cut scope, or schedule a follow-up instead of pretending you'll finish.
How to have a great meeting tip number 8: track your progress against the output. In your meeting, you have a specific output that you want to achieve by the end. As you go through the meeting, measure your progress as the time passes towards that output that you want. If you don't do this, how are you going to know if you're achieving what you need to in the time? How are you going to know if you need to speed up? If you track your progress against the desired output, you'll also know before the meeting ends if you're going to achieve what you want. And if you're not going to achieve what you want, you then have time in the meeting to prepare a follow-up, a change of plan, or something different, whatever's going to happen next. So how do you do this? You keep an idea of the output you want and then track your progress against it. If the purpose of the meeting is to come up with 10 ideas, you're halfway through the meeting and you don't have 5 ideas, You're not halfway towards achieving your output. So when you're in your meeting, if you want to have a great meeting, track and measure your progress against your output.
