What is a Parking Lot?
It is a technique to improve focus during meetings.
Definition
A Parking Lot is a designated space, either physical or virtual, used to record and address topics, questions, or ideas that arise during meetings but are not relevant to the current discussion.
Purpose
It helps to keep the focus on the main agenda, prevents discussions from going off-topic, and ensures that all relevant matters are addressed at an appropriate time and within the agreed timebox.
Usage
Participants can briefly jot down off-topic items in the Parking Lot, and the facilitator is responsible for revisiting and addressing these items after the main meeting.
