We write away the status part of our syncs. Just write it down, we don’t need to hear it.

One thing we used at the last two companies I worked at was what we call SWATH—something I invented for reasons of corporate judo.

It’s 5 simple true or false questions that gives you a score. Answer them in order, atop when you answer false. Your score is the number if true answers.

It takes most people 2 seconds to do, and is a kind of health check. They’re very basic questions.

Other than that, we have a shared agenda that people can add items they want to talk about to. Work related or not.

Can you expand on what the questions were? What would a high or low score indicate or trigger?
