whiteboard session

Standing diagram huddle

A whiteboard session is a collaborative meeting where participants sketch ideas, diagrams, or plans on a whiteboard—physical or digital.

Common in software development, design, and business strategy, these sessions emphasize visual thinking and real-time iteration: We had a whiteboard session to map out the user flow.

The format encourages informal problem-solving over polished presentations.
