What your standup or status meeting costs a year, in hours and dollars.

A year of this meeting

$48,000

960 hours of your team's time

worth about $24,000

People x minutes x meetings a week x 48 working weeks, then x the hourly cost. Time back uses Asynco's own assumption, shown on its Insights page as Time Recovered: each check-in saves 15 minutes, never more than the meeting.

What a status meeting really costs

A daily 30-minute standup of 8 people takes 4 hours of team time every day. Over a working year that is close to a thousand hours, before anyone counts the focus lost on either side of it.

Most of that time is people taking turns to read their updates out loud to colleagues who could have read them in a minute.

How to replace it

  • Ask the same three questions in writing, once a day: done, next, blocked.
  • Make only today's plan required, and answer blockers the same day.
  • Keep a short meeting for decisions that need everyone, not for status.
