100% agree with this. I'm working with a new team and our (remote) PM loves scheduling long meetings (60 minutes when we sometimes finish in 20). I'm trying to help him see that we don't need to block out 30 or 60 minutes for a meeting just because those are easiest on Google Calendar.
- digaozao 9y agoProbably a cultural thing. I don't see a problem with this. Depending on the meeting, there is no way it will end in 15 or 45 minutes. If it finishes earlier, great! everybody goes back to work. Sometimes it goes longer, and people have to check if it's being productive, or if they need to gather more info to come back later to subject. 30 minutes seems ok for a meeting. Lower than that, maybe you don't even need a meeting. Just some chat in a slack group.
- watwut 9y ago25 minutes long meeting over slack group can take three hours. You making that meeting so that the issue is solved within 10/20/30 minutes instead of over whole afternoon as people type and take their time to answer.
