Zhurfiks ( FR. Jour fixe - fixed day) - in pre-revolutionary Russia, a certain day of the week in a house, designed for regular reception of guests. People came to the journalist without invitation. Journalists were installed by many writers who did not have the opportunity to keep a full-fledged literary salon :
- Druzhinin, Alexander Vasilievich
- Vyacheslav Ivanovich Ivanov
- Kraevsky, Andrei Alexandrovich
- Tugan-Baranovsky, Mikhail Ivanovich
- Bosenko, Elena Stanislavovna
In a number of European countries, including Germany, the term “ jourfix” is understood mainly as a mutually agreed, fixed and repeatable time of a meeting of members of a small group (for example, every second Thursday of the month at 2 p.m.). In the business world, this basically means any meeting, discussion, conversation on a particular topic.
In the business practice of modern Russia, journalism is a fixed day of meeting with the press of some organization or group of organizations for communication and consideration of a group of issues in an informal setting.
Project Management
The concept is adopted in project management as the time of a meeting of a project group for which all members of this group should not plan any other meetings (i.e., this time is reserved by agreement with all members of the group). In a project team, consulting organization, and the like, such a meeting, for example, can serve to discuss the current status of the project, problem situations, and plan the next steps. Due to the repeating time interval, Zhurfiks gives a very good opportunity to raise and synchronize the level of knowledge, as well as introduce the further stages of the work of the organization’s employees who are otherwise located in remote areas of the work or for some other reason cannot often exchange information with each other.
