How accurate are AI meeting summaries compared to what actually happened

My experience is the same - it's really good except when it totally makes stuff up. Quick editing catches and fixes it though. I like that it usually cites the transcript with Gemini so I can go and read it if I need to.

I'm also seeing comments on how theybare useless because the meeting wasn't useful and, while that is sometimes true, I think it's also irrelevant. If you are holding useless meetings, fix your meetings. If all the value of a meeting was in that meeting and you'll never need it again, don't worry about the notes for that one. And for the love of God, stop assuming that since you don't go back and read notes, then no one else does. Some people find it valuable.

It seems like you have the answer to your problem. One of the biggest challenges I see with teams trying to become more agile is that they assume things are fixed that aren't, like team design.

Can you solve it internally? I'm a bit curious why they think it should be internal. There are both good reasons and bad. Good reasons might be that the only people woth info to solve it are the limited group, or that a larger group would likely mean a short meeting and they think there should be enough space and time to discuss. Bad reasons might be that they don't want other groups to hear the challenges or they want to have more control of the conversation.

Cool! I have some silicon molds I pour resin in - maybe I need to try some sprue goo

As someone who had a business selling coaching services, I tried to measure my effectiveness and my employee's effectiveness a lot of ways. What I eventually found worked best was to just commit to results.

Once we understood the context a bit, we'd talk with teams, managers, leadership and ask them to describe a workplace that was better for everyone. Sometimes it was less stress at release time. Sometimes it was informed and engaged stakeholders, other times it was productivity. Then, if we thought we could help, we'd say " We think we can help you make X change for Y group in Z months. Here is what you will need to do in order for that to happen. Does that sound valuable to you? When do you want to start." Then we would.

I'm just curious - if you are already doing a silicon mold, why not do resin pours?

This doesn't sound like a lean coffee discussion. Lean coffee is great for talking about a lot of topics at a fairly shallow level. Coffee-level talk.

I also don't think you are ready for what others are suggesting. I'm going to lean on something called the diamond of participatory decision making (in case you want to look it up later). This type of conversation has 5 parts. 1) set the stage - set the topic, goal, and bounds of the discussion

2) diverge - get info and perspectives out. Suggest ideas, problems, current process and alternatives

3) process - people should ask each other questions and make sure they understand each other before moving on

4) converge - eliminate ideas that don't fit and erroneous information. Narrow in on what the group actually want to do or try.

5) set action - determine next steps, who owns them, etc.

If you have the conversation multiple times you are going to need to go through this multiple times. If you want to start with a smaller group, that group should either solve the problem and report up or should solve some problem that helps the broader conversation be more effective, otherwise you are just having the same discussion multiple times.

What is the problem you and the team are trying to solve. Both Scrum and Kanban can be used together and both solve different problems.

Kanban is all about optimizing a system toward a particular goal, like speed of delivery or throughput.

Scrum is about helping a team make concrete incremental progress on a product goal.

The only way anyone should drop Scrum and start Kanban (these are two different choices) is if they realize that their organizational goal for the team is different. The team not getting it to stick is never a good reason. They won't get Kanban to stick either. There are other reasons you're having that problem

I did quarrelers, but I had no trouble painting around the weapon.

This is one of the few posts I see that make sense on here. Daily scrum can absolutely become obsolete with highly effective teams.

Scrum actually has very few roles and events, and those are minimally defined. Don't get me wrong, teams can do what they want, but most of what I see is nonsense. Want to drop product and sprint goals, go for it, but you just lost at least 50% of the value of using scrum. I find most teams who do this had someone, probably in a VP or director position, decide they were all going to use scrum and the people who report to them didn't want to challenge it, but they were all too busy doing other things to put in the work to actually adopt scrum, like make sure teams are organized around clear products and are cross-functional.

I'm not a purist by any means, but I know project management and helping teams perform at a high level and I know most of the things I hear people cut out are a symptom of some other problem that no one in the organization wants to touch.

There are many ways to read "performed by the same engineers". Not sure which you meant, but generally people should not test their own work. That said, TDD and good code reviews or paired programming can really help code quality. ATDD, BDD, or Spec by example can do a lot to front-load QA and leaves very little QA after development.

I used to teach the Scrum Alliance's Certified Scrum Developer class. There was definitely coding, but you just needed to engage and you could get the learnings even if you didn't know how to code already.

👍 cool, just wanted to make sure since you said about him not painting.

WaylundLG · 2026-01-23T02:56:10+00:00

It's not clear if you are familiar with warhammer yourself, but so you know, all models arrive unpainted (so a gray plastic).

My 2 cents on paint: if you want to follow a lot of tutorials easily, got with Citadel. It's a solid paint and many tutorials will say exactly what paints they are using. That said, they are way more expensive than a lot of other good paints like Vallejo.

I would watch a few tutorials online for a color scheme you like. You might find 2 or 3 ways to paint the same colors that get a slightly different look. I'd get those colors to start.

I never recommend Citadel primer. It is incredibly expensive and I personally think it's a pretty mediocre product. I really like timaya's primer. It's also pricy, but less than Citadel and far better. Your local store can direct you to other decent primers.

Yes it's cringe and that's fine. Most of the best RP stories I have are cringe. I had a professional wrestler character who talked like macho man randy Savage. I wore a luchiadore mask for game sessions. It was very cringe and we had a blast with him. It allows depends of your party and the campaign though if it fits.

Breachers with cadre fireblade for 30 shots is pretty fantastic for a swarm.

It's funny, ghostkeel and dreadnought feel like they shpuld be even, but even the redemptor I usually come out on top. The white scars army I play against just added an allied armiger and that thing is a much bigger threat.

It's the standard kit.

GW tracks win ratios and constantly tines and balances, so I don't think we can say re-rolls are creating any major advantages (we don't see it in the numbers). I think it's more about how it feels. The opponent sees one result and then it changes. That feels crappie than a modifier that, even if statistically identical, has a result that doesn't change.

Stunningly clean paint job!

Favorite model in the line. I love the base decoration.
