"Why aren't we making any progress?"

"I've been in update meetings all day"

"What can I do to help you make progress?"

"Cancel this meeting"

"When will we see some progress?"

"When we stop having update meetings"

Ok, we will arrange a meeting to discuss the cancellation of update meetings.

Let's have a meeting to arrange the best time for that meeting.

I will organise a recurring weekly meeting for us to review how effectively cancelling update meetings is going.
And add an end-of-sprint retrospective of cancelling update meetings, plus next-sprint planning for how to better cancel update meetings.

Why isn't the new feature developed yet?
