Finally.. engaging, agenda-driven meetings are here
Whilst Lean Coffee is a simple and very effective format, we spend much more time in ‘traditional’ agenda-based meetings.
Some of you asked us to breathe some life back into this kind of meeting. We have therefore re-imagined this familiar, though tired, format to focus on engagement and active participation of all attendees.
This Beta version is exclusively for LeanCoffeeTable users. We hope it provides you with more benefits and the ability to extend into other parts of your organisation. We are also keen to get your feedback and suggestions in our new Slack channel (see below)
There are many innovative ideas in our product backlog, including integrations with tools like Zoom. We will be providing you with minor improvements every few days in the months ahead.
See below on how you can help us to shape the future direction of the application.

To start a new agenda-driven meeting simply click on the ‘New Board’ and you will now have a choice of format (see image below)
This initial version includes everything you need to run a more engaging agenda-driven meeting today. Functionality includes:
