Typical meeting.
Boss.. "Why does this not work?" Server Admins. "It is a coding problem with the application." Software Developers. "It is a server problem."

However I find our weekly infrastructure meeting much more interesting, as I get to fight with other departments who try to blame us for their failings :-) 2008/11/11 Ziots, Edward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Run into the same thing here.

From: Chyka, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 8:30 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: IT Departmental Meetings Hi Everyone, Right now we have the most boring meetings for our IT Dept. We have weekly meetings with 15 members of our staff in them from the CIO to lower level techs and everyone in between. We fill out an agenda with what we are working on etc. The meeting lasts forever and the DBAs don't want to hear what the Network guys are doing and the techs don't want to hear what the systems guys are doing etc. etc. just awful meetings and nothing gets accomplished. We were told since we don't like the meetings and they are highly ineffective to come up with a better way to hold them. I was thinking about every 2 weeks have the CIO meet with the management in each division together so we still know what is going on with the "team". Every week is way too often and doesn't give enough time to report on completed projects etc. I was wondering how dept. meetings are held at your places of employment for the IT dept.
