Who it’s for
Teams whose members juggle their own tasks and shared projects: agencies, labs, small companies.
Why this format
- Personal and shared, in one meetingA minute each for individual news, then time for the projects that need the whole group.
- No repeated updatesProject news is given once, by the people working on it, during the project's own turn.
- Each project keeps its threadWhat is written about a project follows it from one meeting to the next.
What everyone prepares
Before the meeting, each person fills in their check-in in a few minutes, from a computer or a phone. Here is one, as it looks in Ronde.

- Fixed the invoice template

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 table1 min eachEach person in turn shares their check-in, with a timer; the others raise a hand, react or say thanks.
- Project roundOne turn per project: the people working on it give its health, progress and next milestones together.
- 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
- Write project news in the project's tab of your check-in: it comes up during that project's turn.
- Keep the first round very short: the projects are where the discussion happens.
