Running a meeting

The meeting header, timers and how to move between steps.

Once a meeting starts, the header shows the step name, two clocks and the controls.

Clocks

• Section counts the time used on the current step against its budget.
• Total counts the whole meeting. Time is counted from the clock, so a hidden tab or a sleeping laptop does not run the meeting forward.

Controls

• Prev and Next move one step. On small screens the step list on the left is hidden, so use these.
• Pause stops the clocks. The label changes to Resume.
• Cancel stops the meeting and resets the timer. Your scorecard, priorities and to-dos are kept.
• Go to wrap-up jumps straight to the last step.

Steps

Your agenda may rename these or add custom sections of its own. A custom section shows its talking points, an optional checklist the group ticks off, and a notes box. Leaders can change the agenda with Edit agenda in the header.

Each standard step has its own topic: Check-in, Scorecard, Priorities, Headlines, To-Dos, Issues and Conclude.

Tip: assign one person to keep time and one to capture to-dos, so the facilitator can keep the room moving.
