Yes this is true, a regular meeting for meeting sake would not survive, a topical meeting is not very useful periodically either.. I'm kinda oldskool, the only kind of meeting I think *could be useful here on a periodic basis would be patterned after a standup (an extended standup that does not have to be super fast like a reg daily standup would be and could expand into topics up to an hour or so). Whats everyone working on, how does it match with what others are working on, any help needed in which areas and where and when to communicate further.

I did say useful, I'm also down to have a couple un-useful meetings here and there..
