Weekly technology meeting?

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I am thinking of introducing weekly technology meeting where programmers working on the same project can discuss things like:

• current status of the project on technical side
• technology backlog. Things that we may have skipped because of deadlines but now coming back to bite us.
• technology constraints that are limiting developers from being productive
• new and emerging technologies that may apply to the project

Basically looking at the project from programmer's perspective, not the business side.

What would be some good guidelines for a meeting like this?

• How long should the meeting last?
• Is weekly too often?
• Should we time-limit each topic?
• What kinda of topics are good for a meeting like this and which ones are bad?
• Is 10 people too many?
