16. A Brief Guide to Meetings: Be Aware of the Basics of Holding Good Meetings

Meetings are often the bane of any project’s existence. They can make or break your project—and it’s important to understand some of the basics of planning appropriate meetings and how to keep them on track.

This brief chapter will provide you with a clear approach to effectively holding meetings.
