I did a search before posting both on "best practices" and "recurring activities" to see if this question had already been answered but I didn't see that it had.
My question is this, is there any documentation (by any group, body, society, or agency) which provides the convention on whether or not it is appropriate to include Recurring Meetings in a schedule? In the absence of any documented convention, my instinct and experience tells me that including recurring meetings is unwarranted.
Daily tag ups, standard weekly meetings with ones direct manager, routine meetings with the customer seem like items that are an understood part of working a contract. They seem entirely out of place included in a Technical Schedule (with things like requirement derivation, development, and testing) where they must be laboriously tracked and statused. But I haven't seen any documentation saying the same.
Is there a conventional thought on this? Anyone been involved in a discusssion on whether or not to include recurring meetings in a technical schedule?
