Feature Focus

Parking Lot and Meeting Goals

  • Put things aside that do not matter to your meeting goal

  • Never lose any topic important, but not related to your meeting

  • Assign duties and tasks to the right people at the right time

Stay focused in your meeting

From time to time, there will be topics that arise during meeting discussions that are important, but not relevant to the goal of your meeting. Since these tasks are important, people tend to discuss them during the meeting – however, that jeopardizes achieving your meeting goal and finishing your meeting on time. When this happens, your meeting productivity goes down.

Instead of not meeting your goals, just put it aside, assign it to the right person, and “park” it in our “parking lot”! Using the parking lot feature, you can set aside topics that are not relevant to your meeting to revisit at another time – that way, you can achieve what was listed on the meeting agenda.

Keep the discussion focused on your meeting goal

During the meeting, you have the option to assign those tasks as “side issues” to a person to take care of the matter. That way, you make sure nothing gets lost and the perfect candidate does the follow-up on the important issue.

create side issues

This is a great and clever way to re-focus your team and the discussion back to your topic. Nice side effect: It avoids getting the engaged and tightly scheduled people (often the management crew) in your organization being annoyed about pointless discussions.

Putting unrelated topics aside and assigning these side issues to the right person, gets it out of your heads.

In some organizations, we observed these unrelated discussions again and again. But we promise, with yoyomeeting the overall problem will become the exception.

Make meetings great again

Improving meeting culture is a process – and we support this process in your organization. But implementing yoyomeeting in your organization will improve your meeting quality from day one.

The “parking lot” is just one of many features that help, achieving your meeting goals. In combination with other features, like agenda setting, task assignment, and more, yoyomeeting can help you in many ways to have great and productive meetings and a significant improvement in your meeting culture!

For the calculation of the benefit, we assumed everyone having a yoyomeeting license has 20 one hour meetings per month with 2 additional attendees. That sums up to 60 meeting hours per month. Each hour is paid in average with 50 €, so the company invests in meetings 3.000 € for wages alone. With yoyomeeting we estimated an overall longterm meeting productivity increase of 20%, which sums up to at least 600 €/month. And in the calculation above, we did not even consider rebates on corporate license packs!
