THREE PARTS TO A MEETING

#AgileCamp

HOW BAD IS BAD?

Strength: For example, the status of the people attending, and especially the status of the people calling the meeting: meetings that you cannot decline.

Immediacy/Interruption: The extent to which the meetings are an immediate interruption to progress. “I got nothing done today -- all I did was go to meetings.”

Number: The number of meetings.
