How to run weekly issues meetings

Resolve bottlenecks fast with the EOS framework. Identify problems, discuss solutions, solve them, and assign clear ownership.

Introduction

Issues pile up when there's no structure to solve them. A backlog of "we should fix that" becomes "we never fixed that." Weekly issues meetings use the EOS framework identify, discuss, solve to clear blockers before they compound. This isn't a status update. It's a focused problem-solving session where the team picks the top 3 issues, debates solutions, and assigns clear ownership. Most issues get solved in 10 minutes once the right people are in the room.
