A Monthly Thirty-Minute Meeting Catches Cross-Functional Collisions

Hold a standing thirty-minute meeting each month with one purpose: catch the moment two functions collide over the same unfinished work. Engineering integrates a migration sales already promised a customer. Product builds a variant customer success has never seen.

The agenda is one question, asked of every function: what is about to reach a customer or a decision point that nobody else here knows about?

This is the translator discipline from “Translate Technical Work into Each Audience’s Terms,” run standing instead of once.
