This is a reliable litmus test for company dysfunction: how many people are in meetings & do meetings end with clear, concrete decisions?
- lpapez 5y agoI repeat these exact same words on each retrospective of my new scrum team with 16 people. The amount of overhead is insane and I've simply started not showing up to some meetings and just asking for conclusions. Usually, there aren't any or it has been concluded that another meeting is neccessary.
