Norms For Holding Effective And Fruitful Scrum Meetings By: Mrugesh Panchal
Many types of meetings are held while scrum is implanted in a project. Right from sprint planning meeting to the sprint review and the sprint retrospective, other non-conventional meetings can also be arranged in scrum as and when needed to fulfill specific objectives. Following certain norms can help to effective and fruitful meetings.
• Scheduling the meeting
The best way to schedule a meeting is to consider all the information that needs to be conveyed during the meeting, and assign a proper time and duration for it. Do not try to cram in too many topics so that enough time is not allotted for discussing each topic during the meeting. Ideally, the meeting should last for approximately 30 minutes, so work out an agenda that fits into the time schedule. If the topics to be discussed are more, hold a separate meeting to discuss them. This is very important, since the team members need time to absorb the discussion, and remain perceptive to the plan of action decided for each topic in the agenda at the end of the meeting.
The time to hold the meeting should be properly selected too. Choose the time, which is most convenient to all. Ideally, the meeting should be held around 9 AM when everyone is fresh and about to start their day, or if that is not possible, than around 3 PM when everyone has taken the lunch and people are not feeling groggy immediately after having it.
• Members attending the meeting
Work out the list of attendees who are going to remain present for the meeting. It is mandatory for the product owner and the scrum master to attend the meeting since they play a center role in scrum implementation. Invite only those members who are associated with the topics included in the agenda, and who need to carry out some plan of action based upon the discussions carried out during the meeting. Other members, who are not concerned, or who have no connection with the agenda topics should not be invited so the meeting place is not cluttered up with too many individuals. When the members are less, it becomes possible to have one-to-one discussion, which is more meaningful and effective.
• Creating and distributing the agenda
Make sure that a proper agenda is created that includes all-important topics. Once the agenda is prepared, send it, or distribute to the concerned individuals well in time so they have enough time to prepare for the meeting. Each attendee should prepare a list of queries or issues concerning his or her work, and present it to the audience during the meeting. If the participants are well prepared, it leads to more fruitful and productive meetings.
• Conducting the meeting in the proper manner
Start your meeting on time. It is advisable not to wait for participants if they do not make it on time. It is essential to convey a message that the purpose and intent of the meeting is important, and should not be trifled with. The meeting should also not be taken lightly by the attendees. Some organizations even levy a certain penalty if the participants do not show up on time.
Another aspect is regarding the discussions to be carried out during the meeting – they should be focused and topic centric. Make sure, only those topics relevant to the agenda are discussed, and the meeting is not emphasized with other trivial or non-related discussions. Utilize the meeting time in a productive way.
Appoint one person specially for taking down the minutes of the meeting. This turns out to be very valuable when the participants require to recollect what was discussed during the meeting at a later stage. Many a times, people remember the plan of action immediately after the meeting is completed, but tend to forget, or may get confused in the succeeding days. The minutes can help to freshen up their memory.
Work out the possible call-to-actions for each topic or subject included in the agenda. The minutes of the meeting should reflect which person is responsible for doing a particular action based upon the topics in the agenda.(read entire article)(posted on: 2014-03-25)

Benefits Of Document Management System By: Document management system has become a necessity
Document management system has become a necessity in every work-place. Document management system, also known as Enterprise Content Management, helps to keep the data and information at work in an organized and secured way. It stores the data in such a way that the data is easily retrievable on time. Document Management System works for managing the creation, capture, indexing, storage, retrieval, and disposition of information in the organization. Creating, collecting, processing, distributing, storing, managing and retrieving, maintaining and disposing of information, is a fundamental task inside any business or other working organization. It helps to fasten the operations in management and increase the speed of work. Document management system is a perfect and essential replacement for manual processing or search for information.
Data Management System uses an integrated computer and software system to collect, sort, organize and provide information. Data management system reduces the physical storage space required at work to a great extent. Huge piles and drawers filled with files and folders of paperwork usually acquire too much physical space. Data management system use software to store all the information and it doesn't require huge physical space. The documents are just scanned and stored on the document management system. Proper document management system also allows the documents that are required especially in paper form in a more organized and efficient way. In case of indexing papers, the indexing is very time-consuming and could have many errors. Documents are properly and easily indexed in document management system. Document management system allows for easy retrieval of information whenever required. In document management system basically an electronic image of the information is created with a scanner and the information is saved centrally on the main system. Whenever information is required by any user in the organization, the information is provided straightaway from this main system.
The benefit of document management system is that the documents whenever required can be easily obtained. As all documents are stored centrally, the search of documents becomes very easy and simple, and also very fast. Documents are stored centrally into different categories and sub-categories with indexing which allows for easy & fast search and retrieval of information. Whenever documents need to be sent to some other organization or some other company, there's no need of scanning documents at that time, the documents are already scanned and stored and ready to be sent right-away. Document management system has greatly improved security of documents. Physically stored documents can at the most be locked inside a drawer or safe which are still prone to theft or even getting misplaced. Digitally stored documents on the other hand, are encrypted by a very secure digital key which can be accessed only by the authorized person to those documents. This provides security for the documents and also keeps documents from getting misplaced. Documents physically stored might get lost but documents stored digitally won't get lost. Companies like Document Solutions Australia are expert at providing such Software Solutions for managing documents. “Software Solutions for managing documents and use of photocopiers in Gold Coast for managing documents have created a revolution in document management”, says document management system experts at Document Solutions Australia.(read entire article)(posted on: 2014-03-25)
