The Only Meetings You Need

The insight: The only standing meetings you might need: daily huddle (flexible) and retro (every other week). Everything else can be ad-hoc based on actual need.

Why this works:

• •Daily huddles keep everyone aligned without heavy process
• •Retros ensure continuous improvement
• •Everything else should emerge from actual work needs, not calendar habit

What flexibility means: Your daily huddle isn't sacred. If the team is humming and doesn't need it today, skip it. If it needs to turn into a 30-minute working session, let it.

The principle: Meetings should serve the work, not the other way around. Create structure only where it adds value.
