Weekly sync
The team's weekly round table: everyone shares in two minutes, nobody takes over the floor, and the minutes write themselves.
- Every week, 30 min
- 2 min to speak, each
Free. Your first meeting starts from this template, and everything stays editable.
Who it’s for
Any team of 3 to 15 people who meet once a week to stay in sync: product, support, operations, a lab or an agency.
Why this format
- Prepared, not improvisedEveryone writes their check-in beforehand, so the meeting is spent discussing, not remembering.
- A fair turn for eachA timer per person keeps the round short and gives quiet voices the same time as the loudest.
- Nothing falls throughBlockers become follow-up actions with an owner, and last week's plans come back to be checked.
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.
Done this week

- Interviewed three customers about exports
Planned for next week

- Review the pricing page with Lucas

Other

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 table2 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
- Keep “Other” for short news: anything that needs a discussion goes to open topics, after the round.
- Ask people to fill in their check-in the day before: the reminder links straight to it.
