I was seriously in the worst meeting a few months back. Not only was it poorly organized but then at the end the agreed upon next steps really just took the cake. This ridiculousness just never made sense. It was so bad I actually wrote them down to eventually put somewhere. I guess fthe.net is as good a place as any:

Next Steps

• Roll out beta
  
• Study what users want
  
• Develop roadmap
  
• Hire specialists
  
• Develop unified backend
  
• Build phenomenal products
  
• What are success criteria?
  
  • Return users
    
  • Visits
    
  • Become competitive

My personal favorite was “build phenomenal products.” Uhm. Okay. That’s like saying “Step 1) get some paper. Step 2) Use some magic. Step 3) Fly to Mars” What exactly are the phenomenal products exactly? I guess they are pretty awesome with all those specialists we’ve hired after we’ve built out roadmap. There’s no way I could have come up with those next steps! Good thing we have such smart people working for us.
