The problem is that calendar software and industry-wide habit pushes meetings to last a multiple of 30 minutes. And you can't trust that everyone will be connected or in the room before 10-15 minutes after the planned start. So 30 minutes transform into 15-20 minutes, and is too small for anything but a short chat that could have been an email.
- jameshart 5y agoThose are cultural habits that can be broken. Start meetings on time, don't let people straggle in. Setting half hour meetings is easy. For my part I'd love it if more people would accept 20 minutes as a reasonable meeting duration, but it definitely requires companywide norms to get people to fragment their calendars that way.
