Meetperioden

Meetperioden is a term used in some organizational, project-management, and research contexts to describe a defined interval during which meetings are held, observed, or analyzed. It is not a universally standardized term, and its exact meaning can vary between organizations or studies. At its core, a meetperioden establishes a time window that researchers or planners use to collect data, schedule discussions, or evaluate meeting-related activity.

Origins and usage vary, but the concept commonly appears in two areas. In scheduling and project management, a meetperioden may be a fixed window, such as a two-week sprint or a monthly cycle, during which planning meetings, status updates, and decision-making sessions are concentrated. In analytics and research, the meetperioden defines the period over which metrics are calculated, for example the number of meetings, total meeting time, average attendee count, and attendance rates.

Characteristics often associated with meetperioden include a defined start and end date, potential for recurrence (e.g., weekly or monthly), and alignment with broader work cycles such as sprints or quarterly plans. When used for data collection, it also implies consistent data capture within that window and may require standardization of time zones and meeting types.

Variations of the term include meet period or meeting window. Related concepts include meeting cadence, time window, and sprint. See also: meeting, scheduling, project management, data analytics.
