Note

• For managers, meetings are how we get through the day. For engineers, meetings are just an addition to their everyday coding.
• Since working, I know the pain of too many redundant meetings, which creates a mindset of respecting my own and others’ time.
• Engineers hate meetings.
• As a team leader, here’s what I found useful:
  • Make sure meetings have goal/purpose.
  • Finish the meeting early if its purpose has been fulfilled.
  • Ask your engineers about their most productive time and avoid scheduling meetings here.
  • Fill time with updates that are relevant to them.
  • Invite only necessary people to the meeting.
