This is the real crux of the biscuit. For team oriented work being
able to get into the nova-zone (or whatever) for an extended period
is important. Having to switch in and out of that per day would not
be pleasant and would also make the time less effective.
At base, I think part of the challenge with how we manage this stuff
is that because the available time is such a scarce resource (10
days out of 365) we want to make sure we touch upon everything that
matters. But bouncing from topic to topic means that each topic and
the people involved do not get the depth of engagement for it to
really matter. In the end what matters is not so much that we talk
about any particular topic, but that we talk about any topic, so
that we develop the shared language that allows us to talk about it
more later.
Which is just a long-winded way of saying: Let's not parcel time
into small chunks.
Agree with Chris. And stepping back, the more things get split up and
time sliced, the more the PTG becomes like a summit with a very rigid
schedule - which is something teams were trying very hard to get away
from when we started doing midcycle meetups. The 2-3 days of just
focusing on a few set of things at a deep level to move forward was
necessary because 40 minutes every 6 months doesn't cut it.
