enkeltmøter

Enkeltmøter, meaning "individual meetings" in Danish, refers to short, focused, one-on-one meetings that are a common practice in agile software development. These meetings are typically held daily or very frequently between a team member and a team lead, manager, or another designated person. The primary purpose of an enkeltmøte is to facilitate quick communication, address any blockers or impediments a team member might be facing, and provide a brief update on progress.

The structure of an enkeltmøte is generally very informal and brief, often lasting no more than 5-15 minutes. The conversation usually revolves around three key questions: what was done yesterday, what will be done today, and are there any obstacles hindering progress. This streamlined approach ensures that issues are identified and resolved rapidly, preventing them from escalating and impacting the team's overall productivity.

Enkeltmøter serve as a crucial mechanism for fostering transparency and collaboration within a team. They offer a dedicated space for individuals to voice concerns and receive immediate support, which can significantly boost morale and engagement. While they are a part of many agile frameworks, their exact implementation can vary depending on the specific team's needs and organizational culture. The emphasis remains on efficient communication and proactive problem-solving.
