The Boxing Method
The most valuable tool that an engineer has is a box. I'm not talking about a physical box, like a plastic box, metal box, or highly padded box used for transportation of sensitive equipment.
I'm talking about taking a piece of paper and drawing a box.
Sounds worthless? It's actually priceless.
Before a meeting, instead of sending out an agenda, send out a graphic (you can make it in powerpoint) with a box. Inside the box, you will write everything that is in scope for the meeting's discussion. Outside the box, you will write down everything that is out of scope for the meeting. I call this boxing.
The boxing method does two things:
(1) It creates a visual construct. People are hardwired for the physical world, so having a visual helps to internalize the focus of the meeting
(2) It explicitly requires the meeting organizer to specify what is not on the table for discussion. How often have we come to meeting to discuss one issue and the meeting drags on discussing something much different?
Does your team use visuals to keep the team focused and aligned? Hit reply and let me know!
