Virtual meetings are a challenge because while a virtual meeting can be easier to schedule than a co-located meeting, virtual meetings require more intentionality from meeting leaders than co-located meetings. Atlassian surveyed 5,000 knowledge workers in March 2024 and discovered that meetings are ineffective 72% of the time because of lack of clarity for the meeting purpose, the steps to meet the meeting purpose, and the role of participants in the meeting. Intentionality as a meeting leader means being clear on the meeting purpose, the steps to achieve the purpose, and the role of meeting participants in achieving that purpose.
