The 1-Workshop Workweek
Give your team 10 hours back.
Every week.
Replace endless team meetings with one 90-minute weekly workshop. Teams consistently save 10–15 hours per week — without losing alignment.
5,000+ team leads
reclaiming 10+ hours every week
The Problem
Your team doesn't have a productivity problem. You have a communication problem.
Most teams spend 15–20 hours per week in meetings. That's half your workweek just talking about work — while your actual work waits.
No wonder it's hard to get work done, burnout is high, and everyone's calendar looks like a game of Tetris. There's a better way.

The Method
The DEAL Method
A four-phase framework that transforms your team from meeting-heavy to async-first. Not a one-time project — a continuous improvement cycle.
D — Clarity in 2 Weeks
Define
You'll leave with a full Meeting Map, 3 shared priorities, and a Decision Log your whole team trusts.
E — Cut Your Meeting Hours
Eliminate
You'll finish the Meeting Audit with a clear list of what to cancel, what to keep, and Team Agreements that make the new rules stick.
A — Async by Default
Automate
Your Team Playbook and Status Board replace the status meetings that were eating your calendar.
L — 1% Better Every Week
Liberate
A weekly retrospective ritual that compounds — your team ships faster and meets less, every single quarter.
The Deliverables
Three tools that make meetings obsolete
Together, these three building blocks give your team everything it needs to stay aligned without constant meetings.
Team Agreements
How we work together
A co-created contract between team members: response times, meeting policies, decision-making rules, and working norms. Reviewed quarterly. Referenced daily.
- → Communication rules
- → Decision framework
- → Meeting policies
- → Working norms
Team Playbook
What we do & how
Wikipedia for your team. All processes, procedures, and institutional knowledge in one place. New members go from zero to productive in days.
Team Status Board
What's happening now
A visual, real-time dashboard. Async status updates replace standups. No more “where are we on X?”

About
Hi, I'm Agile Arthur.
I've been an Agile Coach since 2008. Over the years, I saw the same pattern everywhere: smart teams drowning in meetings while their actual work suffered.
The 1-Workshop Workweek is what I developed after implementing async-first workflows across 100+ teams — from startups to enterprises. It's not theory. Every part of the DEAL Method has been tested in the real world.
The result? Teams that are more aligned, more productive, and happier — with a fraction of the meeting overhead.
