Something is wrong if you’re spending 10+ hours doing agile ceremonies. We have 15-20 min stand up M-Th, two hours of refinement each week, and then either 30-60 mins of sprint demo or release/deploy every other week - which is a total of 4 hours a week. One retro a month. I have my Tech Lead, QA Lead, and Scrum Master as the only ones in planning - IC devs, QA, and BAs don’t attend unless they request to.
People have other meetings to troubleshoot or gather requirements as part of their role that they set up themselves, but our agile ceremonies are as lean as possible. A truly good product or admin coworker is one who is getting shit done and preventing anything from coming the team’s way so they can spend most of their day focusing on the sprint work.
Ime, there’s a lot of assumptions that everyone on a team needs to be involved in every stage and that’s not really true.
I couldn’t agree more!
I had this same argument and this was exactly the same thing I said during that argument.
