In a survey conducted by Microsoft among 38,000 workers in 200 countries, people spend 5.6 hours each week in meetings and 69% of survey participants considered meetings as not productive.

Yes, yes! the daily meetings from SCRUM methodology are 15 minutes long and doesn’t sum to 5.6 hours per week. But you have to consider management long meetings and mediate them with 1.25h per week SCRUM sessions. After we correlate that with 69% participants that considered meetings to be not productive will find a large bunch of SCRUM practitioners that consider those 15 minutes as wasted time.

Of course, if they do SCRUM at Microsoft.
