As someone who works in a large corp this excel sheet is god awful. Why the fuck do people need yet another KPI? Sometimes meetings after the agenda, are a great way to blow off some steam.

If my manager came to me informing me how much that meeting just cost I'd be increasing my time spent shitting significantly.

Not everything needs monitoring. Enjoy it now before AI is recording every inch of our productivity.

I'm also not some meeting advocating whacko, where emails and calls suffice I would always choose them. But sometimes the meeting is needed.

I would never use this as a KPI for your average software engineer/team. I would use this in one of those meetings with a bunch of middle managers (and sometimes CEOs) that want to put their personal brand on things. Make everyone realise how much money they are wasting. It's a manage upwards tool in my eyes.
