Tips for an efficient whiteboarding session

  1. Concentrate on your goals

An effective meeting has a well-defined meeting goal. Hence, make sure you write the objective and intent of the meeting, issues that need attention on top of the digital whiteboard to make sure the meeting doesn’t deviate from the target. 

  1. Write neatly

Start your meeting by erasing everything that’s irrelevant on the whiteboard and cleaning it thoroughly to remove the visual clutter. Also, ensure you take time to neatly write what you propose on the board. A messy board will distract the members.

  1. Set your ideas

As ideas start to pour in, you may notice your board getting unorganized! Hence, make sure you organize them into categories, sections to make everything easy to understand. Break the content into segments to offer an easy appearance to the participants.

  1. Connect all the members

Whiteboards are extremely useful for group meetings and collaborations, even when you are working in remote locations. With the right camera angle, you can also do video conferencing effectively. Make sure everyone can clearly see the whiteboard and participate during the video conferencing.
