we call the "the Process Check" and we do it also fairly regularly at
the end of meetings (any size). We draw a line down the center of a
white board or piece of papter, put a Plus on one side, a Minus on the
other side and take comments from everyone.
Then we keep the paper and look at it in the next meeting to see if any
of it is still relevent. Gets the team working together and acts as a
leveler (staff people, leads and management position doesn't count on a
process check).
I can't say I'm always glad we do the process check. sometimes the
only comments are "good donuts"... But we've also exposed some serious
issues and it's lead to some real improvement, so I recommend it also.
