I will admit I had never heard of Robert's Rules of Order, but a quick skim of the Wiki page tells us that the goal in their creation was to adapt the process of U.S. Congress to non-legislative groups. Doesn't seem like something we should be striving for.

I’ve worked on several boards of various sizes and they’ve all used Roberts Rules. This structure seems expandable to handle any size project.

It has been in our bylaws for a decade but we have not been using it and our meetings have suffered. We have one member who is questioning the value or even that there are successful organizations that use it effectively. If you have tried it and it did not work well, what has worked better?
