In case your podcast queue is running low, I highly recommend queuing up this presentation from Figma’s Config 2023 conference: Rituals of modern product teams – Yuhki Yamashita, Shishir Mehrotra (Config 2023) – YouTube

The basic premise is that effective teams have established a number of rituals over time, and Yamashita and Mehrotra give a quick rundown of some of those rituals (screenshot below). I am fascinated by the organizing framework they use to categorize those rituals: Cadence, Catalyst, Context. Teams should make sure they have the right mix within their meetings (or updates – not everything has to be a meeting) and not confuse one with the others.

Anyway, I highly recommend listening to (or watching) that talk.
