Huddles Explained
Huddles strengthen your team’s cohesion, keep your team up to date, and help them raise concerns and share successes.
Create or Edit a Huddle
Navigate to the Huddle panel on the Today page
Click the three-dot menu and select "Settings"
You can also get to this page by clicking on the three-bar menu in the top left corner of LENS and selecting "Admin"
Here you can see the current huddles you have already and edit or delete them if needed.
To create a new huddle, click Add Huddle at the bottom
Add a description of the purpose for the huddle, whether the huddle is recurring and on what days, and what time the huddle should happen.
Set the duration of the huddle and an end of a meeting warning to keep your team on task.
Insert a link from a video or audio chat for remote team members to click on and join the huddle.
Default notes is a great place to write the agenda of the huddle to make sure you hit all the points you want to cover.
If this huddle occurs on a less frequent basis, you may mark it as optional. Optional huddles do not factor into the reports page.
One-Time Occurring Huddles
There are items you may want to address during the huddle, but on a less frequent basis, like success stories, budget deadlines, or mandatory learning requirements. You can schedule one-time occurring huddles for these limited talking points by unselecting the Recurring checkbox and choosing the date you want the huddle happen.
After a Huddle
Additionally, after a huddle ends, you can go back and edit the notes for the huddle as well as update the number of attendees who huddled. If you started the timer on accident, you can delete huddles from here as well so they don’t count on the reports page. Huddles that last less than one minute are highlighted in yellow.
