As I've been in several startups I can assure you that in companies where mayhem persists, Engineering teams could spend 40% of their time at meetings.

I agree with Rajat.   I guess it looks like a pyramid.

The lower in the pyramid, the less you'll be in meeting.

- C-Suite : 99% of the time
- VPs : 95%
- Managers : 90%
- Experts or Strategic Advisors: 80%
- Analysts / Project Managers: 70%
- Developers: 35% (Agile Mode)
- Sales/Marketing/Support/Accountants: 10%
- Financial Advisors/Tellers/Receptionist: 5%

This would deserve a survey in any organization to measure and find out if real workers are having to many meetings.   They are the one making the organization deliver values at the end of the day!

Very broad question - it will be different for different personas from developer to SA to sales to management 😊

Can a Scrum Master also take on tasks such as writing test scripts or developing reports, especially now that GenAI tools make it easier for anyone to contribute? Traditionally, how was it viewed when Scrum Masters contributed in this way, and with GenAI potentially reducing team sizes, how might agile experts view this kind of involvement from Scrum Masters now?

We have recently gone live with Manhattan as our WMS in our distribution center--it links into our ERP which is SAP.  We are looking to others to find out how they have established their operating models when it comes to software that is configurable at the business level (within Supply Chain--specifically the Distribution Centers).  What is the role that IT plays with these types of solutions chosen by the business outside of the SAP first methodology?

We have a servicing organization within IT segmented by applications and has 3 different director teams supporting overall pieces which is creating confusion, misalignment and becoming harder to support one business area.  Components considered within this org are: PEGA products (NCompass, G&A), Genesys Cloud,  Google, Member Portal and Member Mobile.   How should i look at proposing a new target state Org considering all these aspects/products? Any ideas?
