At the least, the +tech leads and/or representatives from each work package need to attend, but it +is open to anyone working on DP-Next. We follow the style of a meeting type +called a ["retrospective"](https://miro.com/agile/guide-to-retrospectives/) that +is also used in the [Seedcase +Project](https://guidebook.seedcase-project.org/iterations/end). + +During these meetings we discuss any challenges people are having and ways that +we can improve collaboration within and between work packages. The focus is +mainly on collaboration practices, tools, and methods that could benefit the +project as a whole or multiple work packages. We discuss what went well, what +didn't go well, and what we can improve. Then we create action items to address +the issues we identified. + +## Update meetings + +Every week, most work package groups have a very short "update" meeting. During +the meeting, the [roadmap manager](roles.qmd) shares their screen of the project +board and go over the tasks on the board that are at the "in-progress" or later +(e.g. "in review") states. Each person gives an a very brief update on their +tasks they've been working on since the last update meeting. Pay attention to +tasks that are blocked and briefly discuss if any action needs to be taken to +resolve the block. + +::: callout-tip +This style of meeting is modelled after the [Seedcase Project update +meetings](https://team.seedcase-project.org/how-we-work/update-meetings), which +itself models these meetings off of "daily standups" and similar iterative and +incremental project management practices. +:::
