10 minutes x everyone on the team x scheduled time for all x disruption and context switch loss

I like in person updates myself, but it's not as obvious of a cost calc as you present. There is definitely a place for async, written updates

I find bad managers usually can't grasp the cost of interruptions from meetings - because their work isn't interrupted from meeting - because their work IS meetings.
