At my work, our team meets daily to discuss our goings on but I think the part I think everyone gets the most utility from is the affectionately named parking lot, where we talk through issues that are blocking people in their efforts and the team does ad hoc resolution sessions.
I still recall when a colleague had introduced this practice to our team a while back, as a modification to the typical standup. I think her idea was from the fact that during the de rigueur stand up three question updates, people would get caught up in discussions and it felt quite rushed. But by deferring these to the end, the feeling of the rush went away because everyone had a chance to say their piece.
Burying the lead here 😅
So I sent a prompt to GPT 4, thinking hey let’s create a dictionary entry one might find a future where actual parking lots for “cars” went away because when we all adopted self driving cars, the efficiency meant that these cars would no longer need a square of pavement to collect their dust. I guess we’ll see what happens .
