agreed. dont know who needs to hear this but if you're having more than 1 scrum a week its not devops, its micromanagement, and if youve got more than 2-3 meetings a week youre effectively doing your managers work.

if it can be summarized in 2-3 lines in an email, dont accept the meeting.

Worse are meeting with just a vague title and not a well defined agenda. So many times I have to ask the organizer to add bullet points of the items to cover so I can at least join already prepared, can tell the organizer if I am not really the right person to join for the meeting and/or if someone from another team would be necessary.

So many time is wasted on meeting because of off topic stuff or because the rights persons haven't been invited.

Management is a skill and a lot of people get peter principled into it and don't learn or hone the skill set required.
