Ask HN: How much of your time is spent in meetings?

I work for a small corp working on re-writing an existing codebase and migrating all historical data.

This was a heavy week, I have 14.5 hours of scheduled of meetings (out of 40 worked, so ~36%). Some meetings went over, so I estimate I can easily add between 1 and 2 extra hours. I ended up having an emergency so I lost an additional 3 hours, but that's extraordinary circumstance.

Last week was lighter, at 5 hours.

If you don't count stand-ups, take 3 hours away from each week.

We're agile too, and don't count stand-ups or sprint reviews. I wonder if this is more related to agile/scrum vs waterfall?

Thanks, I'll add that to the original post.

>>> I wonder if this is more related to agile/scrum vs waterfall?

I'd like to hope those aren't the only two options!
