[00:00] Host: Welcome back to Builder Hours. Today I am talking with Maya Chen about
how remote product teams keep shipping without drowning in meetings.
[02:15] Host: Maya, you have led distributed squads for eight years. Where do most teams
lose a full day each week without noticing?
[05:40] Guest: Status meetings that restate the ticket board. If the board is healthy,
you do not need a thirty-minute verbal replay for every column.
[09:10] Host: What replaced standup for your last team of twelve across four time zones?
[12:00] Guest: A written daily pulse in Slack by 10am local, plus a twenty-minute
overlap call three days a week for decisions only — not updates.
[15:30] Host: Great notes. Links to Maya's playbook and our chapter markers are in the show notes.
