Re:Ask HN: How many hours do you use for sync-up meetings? by 0x008 on Wednesday February 08, 2023 @02:30AM (#34705224)
I think spending 10% of your time on sync meetings is totally expected (at least in scrum) and doesn’t feel too outrageous to me.

For myself I have learned the total amount is rarely the problem but when meetings are. I am most productive in the morning hours so I asked everyone to schedule sync meetings in the afternoon and I have told my team I will not attend dailies unless it’s requested or I have some action that needs to be taken. Works out pretty good so far.

Bad Scrum plus SAFe ends up in around 30% sync and preparations, this is a yearly average since some meetings are quarterly
