The French term '''Jour Fixe''' can literally be translated as “fixed day” and denotes an appointment that recurs at regular intervals. Such regular appointments are considered to be particularly efficient compared to traditional meetings. Jour fixes are particularly widespread in project management for group-internal coordination. Depending on the project, the participants are often spread across different cities or even countries, so that internal communication is sometimes difficult. The short meeting is therefore used, for example, to discuss the current project status, evaluate successes and failures and determine the next steps. All those involved are brought up to the same level of knowledge. Such meetings also play an important role in everyday office life. In the office, poor communication is one of the most common causes of misunderstandings and problems. A jour fixe, for example, supports the exchange of cross-departmental objectives and can promote communication between employees and superiors. However, a jour fixe can only advance the project and communication if it is organized efficiently. Above all, the aspect of time management plays a decisive role.

Tips for conducting a jour fixe
In addition to the few rules that promote continuous exchange, organizations should clarify separate issues and rules in advance:
*Are all (and especially new) participants aware of the aim of the exchange?
*Do all participants know what information they need to prepare for the meeting?
*How long does the meeting last and who ensures that the timebox is observed? Once all the information has been exchanged, the meeting can of course end before the agreed duration. If more time is needed, e.g. because creative ideas need to be developed, a separate meeting should be arranged.
*Who moderates the meeting and is there a minute-taker?
*Will the results be made available to the participants in writing afterwards?
*How are discussed tasks followed up?
*Is the use of mobile phones and other aids permitted during the meeting?

 The short duration with a high focus on topics ensures great efficiency and high motivation among the participants. The repeating appointment guarantees - unlike a meeting - a maximum attendance rate. Processes are continuously monitored and the delay of internal difficulties is avoided. A jour fixe can have a disadvantage if the appointments are held at an unsuitable time interval (too often or too seldom) and are not filled in a meaningful way. In this case, the supportive effect for the organization as a whole can be reversed.

-Tips for conducting a jour fixe
+A jour fixe is often tied to specific occasions. A typical example is the regular exchange of progress, interim results and the planning of ongoing projects. Current problems that require long-term processing (e.g. restructuring) are also an occasion for a jour fixe. It is important to keep the participants of the meeting up to date. Last but not least, a jour fixe also serves to improve the working atmosphere, strengthen team spirit and clarify / avoid conflicts. Finally, some companies also hold regular meetings in order to give employees the opportunity to turn to managers with questions, suggestions and concerns.
