Sometimes I have the feeling there are too many and sometimes I have the feeling that I am missing something while reading some article about a development framework a company is using to collaborate and build.
1. When I was working full time as a developer:
Weekly:
- Daily meetings every day for 15 minutes
- Sprint Planning for 2-4 hours
- Sprint Retro for 1-2 hours
- Sprint Review for 2-3 hours
- from 1 to 3 meetings with PO or PM - some grooming some about other stuff - in total 1-2 hours
- 1-on-1 for about 15 to 30 minutes
Other intervals:
- Once per month a Heart-beat with other teams
- Once per two months (maybe three) a company wide meeting of 1 hour (which usually took about 3 hours including going to the big hall and discussions afterwards)
2. When I was working as Product Manager or Product Owner I could say that most of my time was spent in meetings.
- meetings with other Product Mangers or Domain Managers
- meetings with customers
- meetings with the team (Planning, Review) or on-demand
- meetings with top management about different strategic initiatives
- 1-on-1 with my manager
