After my previous post about the platform meeting, I received some good feedback. The general feeling about the platform meeting seems to be:
1. it has some useful content/purpose that we want to maintain 2. it has no particular focus and is not optimized for anyone For 1, the uses that I've heard include (please feel free to add to this list): - opportunity to find owners for stability, orange factor, other bugs - opportunity to present ideas (like moving to Git) to a chunk of engineering - like to know what other teams are up to Other useful content that has been suggested includes: - content for hackers - engineering paper cuts For 2, it seems clear that this meeting is broken in its current form. I have heard the following suggestions to maintain the benefits in 1 without the platform meeting: a. set up a regular newsletter or other form to push team status to engineering (easier said than done) b. set up an engineering managers meeting to handle cross team issues that require escalation like finding bug owners (requires buy in from a good number of managers) Has the platform meeting run it's course? Is it time to retire this staple of the weekly engineering meeting schedule? Thoughts?
