How can operational cadence and meeting checklists improve the efficiency of team meetings?

Operational cadence and meeting checklists can significantly improve the efficiency of team meetings. An operational cadence provides a regular and predictable schedule for meetings, ensuring that all team members are aware of when and where they need to be. This reduces confusion and last-minute scheduling conflicts. Meeting checklists, on the other hand, ensure that all necessary topics are covered during the meeting. They provide a clear structure for the meeting and keep the discussion focused. By following a checklist, teams can avoid unnecessary tangents and ensure that all important points are addressed. This leads to more productive and efficient meetings.
