#2Stating it like that is probably a good way to chat with your managers about having less meetings. The idea that a 30 min meeting racks 700-2000$ per meeting is kinda nuts!

#4The title makes it seem like a bad thing, but it makes total sense to me to want to cut unnecessary meetings down and use "different tactics" of getting there. I work in a company right now where we have 1 meeting at the start of the week and that's it (unless something comes up - it rarely does) It's a game-changer for my output and productivity.

#5Good. Now create a calendar plugin that shows the meeting organizer the costs before they book. And post a leaderboard of meeting creators to show how much they're costing everyone (my experience is there's always a small group of worst offenders, and interestingly it's often not the managers).

Scrum is the symptom, not the problem. If the management doesn’t change you’ll have just as many wasted full meetings under any methodology.

#8I've fought this battle, and it turns out that non-technical staff often have no other recourse.
There is, in many orgs, no analog for the things that technical staff regularly use that make a meeting unnecessary.
PR? GitHub discussion? ADRs? RFCs? Never heard of them.

If cc’ing me, please no. Threads with loads of people includes are one of the more gross big-org features. At least I can not turn up to someone’s stupid meeting.
