There’s a famous Bezos-ism that I think about a lot:

“Your margin is my opportunity.”

The idea is that wherever there’s inefficiency in a system, there’s an opportunity for someone to build something better.

Status meetings are exactly that. They are pure margin. They’re organizational overhead. And the opportunity is to replace them entirely with something that is async, consistent, and… let me say it… AI-generated.

In this post, I will share the system I've seen some Scrum Masters using to generate AI-powered reports for executives and stakeholders.

And let me tell you… they’ve been quite successful doing it.

But…

Before we kill the STATUS meetings and replace them with AI, we have to understand what the STATUS meetings are actually used for.

What’s their purpose?
