What happens after the meeting
The decision was made in the meeting, but that does not mean it will survive.
People leave the room, private conversations begin and visible support can disappear. The guide helps you notice where a recommendation may start to lose momentum and what requires follow-through.
Agreement can conceal resistance
What people say in the meeting may not show whether they will support the decision in practice.
A sponsor’s approval may not be enough
A recommendation can still need visible support after the person who approved it moves to the next meeting.
A decision without champions can fade
Without active follow-through, the previous way of working can take over again.
About the author
The guide is written by Sonya Siderova, Founder and CEO of Nave.
Nave grew out of a product development team that was delivering just 25% of what it committed to. After adopting Kanban, the team began making decisions from delivery data instead of opinions. That experience eventually became Nave, a flow analytics platform trusted by 7,000+ delivery teams worldwide.
