Who it’s for
Product teams working in sprints, with their product owner and the stakeholders who want to see progress.
Why this format
- Delivery is visibleA checklist of what was planned and what was done shows the sprint's outcome at a glance.
- Demos get real feedbackEach demo has its turn: stakeholders react, raise a hand or ask a question without derailing it.
- Risks are said out loudRisks for the next sprint are written down, so choices are made with full knowledge.

Demos

How a session runs
- IntroEveryone joins, in the room or on the call: the screen shows who is here and what is on the agenda.
- Round table5 min eachEach person in turn shares their check-in, with a timer; the others raise a hand, react or say thanks.
- Open topicsThe subjects raised along the way, with the decisions taken and the follow-up actions.
- Wrap-upThe minutes are ready: decisions, actions and their owners, everyone’s check-in.
Ready with this template
Each meeting turns modules on or off as it likes; these come switched on.
- Meeting usefulnessAt the wrap-up, everyone rates how useful the meeting was, from 1 to 5, anonymously; the average is tracked in the stats.
- Reactions and signalsEmoji reactions and signals (too long, louder…) flying across every screen.
- Raised hands and questionsRaise a hand or ask a question during a turn: a questions step follows that turn.
- KudosThank a teammate during the meeting; kudos show on every screen and in the minutes.
- TimeboxA topic of its own on the agenda, with its own duration and its notes in the minutes.
- Decision logEvery “Decision:” line of the notes, from every session, in one searchable list open to the whole team.
Tips to run it well
- Invite stakeholders as observers: they follow the shared screen and get the minutes without a turn of their own.
- Keep the last ten minutes for open topics: that's where the next sprint's priorities get settled.
