At meeting on time

Be respectful: Don’t waste the time of your work-mates.

Context

Team members do not attend the meeting on time. Therefor, time is wasted on every meeting.

Action

Scrum Master or one dedicated person reminds the whole team 10 minutes before the meeting that there will be a meeting in 10 minutes. Yes this is like a mother reminds their children of specific stuff.

What you gain

You get your team members on time at the meeting.

After a month or two they will be on time without a reminder.

How to strengthen

You can install a flashing light or a horn, just for fun.

Risks

Team members don’t like it to be treated like children. If so, remind them that being on time, would be the respectful thing to do.
