Strety L10 Meetings | Complete Guide

Set up Level 10 Meetings in Strety. Learn how L10 Meetings™ work, how to customize L10 Agendas, and how to run your first L10.

Written by Derek Weaver

L10 Meetings help your team review priorities, track accountability, solve Issues, and leave each meeting aligned on next steps. This guide covers how to run an L10 Meeting in Strety, customize the agenda, move through each section, and review the meeting summary after the agenda is complete.


Run your first L10 Meeting

Navigate to the Agendas tab from your team page, then open the active L10 agenda.

Customize your L10 Meeting agenda

Not all teams run EOS or their L10 meetings by the book. Strety gives you the option to set custom durations for each section, add or remove tools, reorder tools, and add custom agenda items so you can control what gets discussed in the most important meeting of your week.

How to Add Attendees in an Agenda

If you’re not seeing a team member in the attendee list or Segue—even though they are already added to the space—you may need to manually add them to the agenda.

Tip: If the Agenda is recurring, updating this option adds the selected attendees to future Agenda instances.

To add attendees to the current agenda:

  1. Open the active agenda.

  2. Click the three dots (⋮) in the upper-right corner.

  3. Select Edit.

  4. Go to the Attendees section.

  5. Click the dropdown and select the user’s name.

  6. Click Save.


Run the L10 Meeting

Once you have your L10 Meeting agenda configured how you want it, you're ready to run your L10 Meeting. Click Start Agenda, edit who is in attendance, and use the Next navigation button in the top right to move through the meeting.

l10-start-agenda-button.jpg

As you move through each section, notice the timer counting up in the left agenda pane. As the allocated time nears, the timer turns red to let you know it’s time to wrap up that section.

At any point throughout the meeting, you're also able to perform the following quick actions from the top navigation bar:

Segue

The Segue is your opportunity to check in with your team personally and professionally. You can also set the agenda's attendance from this section.

The video below shows how to navigate through the Segue.

The video above covers how to navigate through the Segue. For written steps, see the sections below.

Turn on Icebreakers in Segue

Icebreakers help make your meetings more engaging by starting each agenda with a fun question.

Enable Icebreakers

  1. Click your Profile Settings.

Scorecards

The video below demonstrates Scorecard features and best practices for navigating your team’s Scorecard.

When you get to the Scorecard section, you can choose the view that works best for your meeting flow:

  • Owner: Groups metrics by the person accountable for each measurable

  • Category: Groups metrics by your customized Scorecard categories

  • Space: Groups metrics by space, which is helpful if metrics come from different spaces

  • Ungrouped: Lets you drag and drop metrics into a custom order

Note: The default Scorecard date range shows the last 13 weeks. You can expand the range to review additional check-ins.

Tip: During an L10 Meeting, metrics that are off track for more than two weeks may be worth turning into an Issue. View Suggestions highlights metrics that have been off track for more than two weeks, making it easier to identify potential Issues.

Rocks

The video below demonstrates Rocks features and best practices for navigating your team’s Rocks.

When you get to the Rocks section, you can group Rocks by owner or category, or leave them ungrouped and drag them into a custom order.

  • Owner: Groups Rocks by the person accountable for each Rock

  • Category: Groups Rocks by your team’s customized categories

  • Ungrouped: Lets you drag and drop Rocks into a custom order

Tip: Check-ins should be updated within one or two days of your L10 Meeting. If a Rock has not been checked in recently, ask the owner to provide an update so the team knows whether it is on track or off track.

If a Rock needs more discussion, add it to the Issues list so your team can prioritize and solve it during the Issues section.

l10-rocks-create-issue


Strety keeps a link back to the original Rock so the Issue can be discussed with the right context.

l10-rock-related-rock

You can also open a Rock to review milestones, add new milestones, create To Dos, or adjust the due date filter to review active Rocks or Rocks within a custom date range.

To learn more about creating, tracking, and managing Rocks, read Strety Rocks | Complete Guide.


Headlines

The video below demonstrates Headlines features and best practices for navigating your team’s Headlines.

When you get to the Headlines section, you can group Headlines by owner or category, or leave them ungrouped to work through the full list.

  • Owner: Groups Headlines by the person responsible for the update

  • Category: Groups Headlines by the assigned category

  • Ungrouped: Shows all Headlines in one list

Tip: Headlines should not stay open from meeting to meeting. Review each Headline, let the owner share context, then check it off before moving on.

If a Headline needs to be shared with other teams, use Cascade to send it to the right teams. Strety also shows when a Headline was cascaded in from another team, so your team can review the update and check it off.

To Dos

When you get to the To Dos section, Strety gives you multiple views to review your To Dos:

  • Open: All To Dos currently associated with the team space

  • Done: All completed To Dos associated with the team space

  • Agenda View: An EOS Pure way to review To Dos that originated from previous instances of the agenda. This view is meant to quickly show you:

    • All To Dos completed since the last meeting

    • To Do completion percentage since the last meeting

    • Total open To Dos that originated from the meeting series

The video below describes how it works.


Issues

The Issues section is typically where teams spend the majority of their L10 Meeting time. We recommend giving everyone a couple of minutes to review the issue list and prioritize or vote for the highest-priority issues.

The video below demonstrates Issues features and best practices for navigating your team’s Issues.

We believe it’s important to celebrate wins, big and small, and resolving issues should be seen as a win. Hopefully you are able to resolve a few during your first L10 Meeting in Strety!

l10-issues-confetti-celebration.jpg

To take your celebrations up a notch, customize the confetti settings from your personal Profile Settings and make it rain emojis across your screen.

profile-settings-confetti-settings.jpg

Tip: You can disable confetti anytime if meetings require a more formal tone.


Conclusion

The video below demonstrates agenda Conclusion features and best practices.

The conclusion page serves as both a meeting review and an opportunity for housekeeping. On it, you'll have the ability to:

  • Add Cascading Messages, which remind your team members to share information to their respective teams after the meeting

  • Review all To Dos created in the meeting

  • Rate the meeting, where everyone in attendance can provide rankings and add context in public or private

l10-agenda-conclusion-page.jpg

After you conclude the meeting, you’ll see a meeting summary page. Strety sends the summary by email to everyone on the team, whether they were in attendance or not, making it easy for everyone to stay aligned on what was discussed that day.

Strety shows the total meeting time, number of attendees and absentees, number of tangents, average ranking, To Dos created, Cascading Messages created, an Issues report, a Headline report, and an aggregated set of notes from anyone who took them throughout the meeting.

Note: You can edit who receives the Summary email by editing the "Who should receive a summary email?" list at the end of the Agenda Conclusion. You can add non-team members here as well if needed.

l10-meeting-summary-page.jpg

When you navigate back to your Team Space’s Agenda tab, you’ll see all completed agenda summaries from the team, along with any active L10 meeting agendas waiting for the next occurrence.

l10-completed-agenda-summaries.jpg


Auto-complete for active agendas

Strety includes an auto-complete feature to prevent agendas from remaining active indefinitely due to inactivity.

How it works

  • After 60 minutes of presenter inactivity, the message "Are you still there?" appears.

  • If the presenter does not click "Yes, I'm still here" within the next 30 minutes, the agenda is automatically marked as completed.

In total, an agenda will auto-complete after 90 minutes of inactivity.

Tip: If you know you'll be away for more than 90 minutes, pause the agenda before stepping away. You can resume the agenda when you're ready to continue, preventing it from being automatically completed.
