# Meetings {#sec-meetings}

## Check-ins and "retrospectives"

Every few months we have a "collaboration-assessment" meeting. 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.
