Our teammates' expressions are important to know what

Here are the rules we follow today to avoid this:

We separate different types of discussions (e.g. strategic vs. operational) into different meetings, to make sure we don't get too stuck on one level or the other. For example, we have sprint meetings and sprint prep meetings, feature meetings and feature planning meetings, and growth meetings and growth idea meetings.
Most meetings have an agenda that defines what will be discussed and what needs to be prepared for that meeting. For our feature meetings (where we review the entire feature set in a series of meetings), for example, we have a fixed structure for the agenda and preparation for each meeting.

We don't go to meetings without thinking about it beforehand. We each prepare the meeting in an individual document and share this preparation at least one day before. This way, everyone can already read the preparation and add some initial comments to move the discussion forward.

We try to limit most meetings (like feature qatar cell phone number list meetings) to 3 people or less. We've found that if we have meetings with more than that, only 3 people actively participate and the rest start falling asleep.
We always turn on the video and keep everyone's faces on the screen during the discussion. they think about what is being discussed. And we know when they lose their attention.

Next to that, we open a document in Google Docs with a defined structure (a shared document that is different from the individual preparation documents). This is where we take note of all the decisions we make. Even if we decide not to do this or that, we write it down. This way, the entire decision process is tracked for those who are not participating in the meeting and for later. One person is responsible for taking notes , the others can follow the process live on their screen and suggest corrections.

If the discussion gets bogged down, we immediately place the discussion point in a list of questions. This can be in a separate list at the top of the document or in the document structure, highlighted in a certain color.
We limit meetings to 2 hours. Meetings that go on longer than this time are detrimental to attention and cease to be productive.
After 30 minutes, we give a first reminder to start wrapping up. After 15 minutes, we start wrapping up. This means we write the meeting announcements and schedule the next meeting if necessary.
