For project management, there is two type of meeting, which is formal meeting and informal meeting. Formal meeting normally such as periodic project meeting, Steering Committee Meeting, etc. The interesting one, during the project, we have also informal meeting, let’s call it “Coffee Time”.
Coffee time is very useful media to interact, communicate, discuss, debate to find solution, conclusion, alternative, comprise that makes project runs smoother. During Coffee time, people tends to relax, loosen up, easy to communicate with, laughable and in that moment as a project manager, we can use it to know more about project team member, their interest, hobbies, make joke out of problem, discuss problems/challenges, solutions, literally anything and that is crucial to make more bonding amongst project team members.
Coffee time does not merely have to be in the coffee shop and drinking a cup a coffee. Coffee time is just symbolic moment that as a project manager can use it, in non-formal mode, to discuss anything to make more bonding amongst project member so the project can runs smoother.
Have a good Coffee Time!
