- Hi! Can you spare half an hour?
I have something I need to discuss with you.
- Sure! What about tomorrow at one o’clock?
- Oh, I’m busy then. What about three?
- Sorry, I’m not available then. First free slot after
that is Thursday next week.
Would that work for you?

Example – The weekly meeting
A weekly meeting adds up to one week
lead time on each collaboration need
that is postponed to that meeting.
Assuming collaboration needs appear
evenly during a work week, average lead
time addition is 20 hours on each need.

also reduces the number of

In a sense, work in process is reduced.

Some ideas to consider…
• Weekly meetings with multiple issues?
– Replace with daily short meetings?
• Meetings with small number of people (2-5?)
– Try to run them immediately or within a day or two?
– Not possible? Is that possibly a sign that too much is going on?
• Status report meetings
– Replace with visualizations and short standup meetings?
• Have parts of the day meeting-free in the whole organization?
– Some companies do this.
• Visualize ongoing work including non-value-flow things
– Use WIP-limits, ”pull”, ”slice the elephant”, etc…
– Also for non-development groups/teams/work?

What would remain in the calendar?
• Short coordination meetings?
– To communicate collaboration needs.
• True work meetings?
– Where people really have to work together without interruption.
– Those people from different work groups/teams.
• Meetings that involve a large number of people?
– These are tricky to have on-demand.
• Meetings that have to be very long?
– I e those that REALLY have to be very long...
