In this episode of the Product Agility Podcast, Ben welcomes product coach and consultant Christoph Steinlehner to discuss a universal pain point: unproductive meetings. If your calendar is flooded with time-sucking, pointless meetings, you're not alone. Christoph dives into the root cause of this meeting epidemic and offers practical tools to reclaim your time, energy, and focus.
Key Takeaways:
- Multiplying Meetings: Why they lead to more and when to intervene.
Vampire Meetings: Use the “wooden stake” of visual mapping to end life-sucking gatherings.
Power of Visual Mapping: Even rough sketches bring clarity, alignment, and actionable outcomes.
Keep it Scrappy: Stay humble and simple to encourage collaboration and avoid over-preparation.
Avoiding Tangents: Use visual tools to spot and address off-track discussions.
Psychological Safety: Create a safe space for collaboration and better decision-making.
Practical Tools & Methods:
- Customer Journey Mapping, Impact Maps, and more: Christoph shares some of the key methods that product teams can use to map out their meetings, systems, and processes visually.
- Mapping doesn’t need to be complex: You don’t need fancy software! Sticky notes on a wall or a whiteboard can work wonders for getting on the same page.
- Tools of the trade: Learn about some digital tools for remote mapping, including Miro, Mural, and Figma, and how to get started with them.
Quotable Moments:
- “Meetings are like vampires, sucking the life out of us. But mapping is the wooden stake we need to slay them.”
- “Start visualising! You don’t need expensive tools. Just a few sticky notes and arrows can transform how your team collaborates.”
- “When people can see what’s in your head, they can point out what’s wrong. That’s when real collaboration happens.”
