likely informational. Usually, only one party has
information to share, and the attendees are there to
absorb it.
- Discussion and Collaboration: As one example,
brainstorms are discussion or collaboration meetings.
Information is meant to come from multiple people.
Collaborative meetings can also be problem-solving
meetings. In this kind of meeting, one or more of the
parties involved could set the agenda.
- Check-in: This is a regularly scheduled meeting,
usually around a particular project, which could be
ongoing or have an anticipated completion date. A daily
scrum is an example of a check-in meeting. Check-ins
are good for making sure everyone involved in some
kind of work or a project are kept up to date on
problems, solutions, changes, progress, and so forth.
Regular check-ins can be (but don’t have to be) very
short, especially when there are few or no changes since
the last meeting.
