The actual difference in a Maker's vs. Manager's schedule

Most Engineering teams make a serious effort to measure inputs and outputs. Yet when it comes to our most valuable resource, time, we’re often flying blind.

We crunched data from more than 1,500,000 meetings, 80,000 Engineering teams, and 5,000 companies to create the 2022 Software Engineering Meeting Benchmark Report.

The report uncovers:

  • The return on investment for Engineering teams with more Focus Time
  • How the average Engineer's schedule drastically changes as they climb the career ladder
  • The "coordination tax" growing companies have to contend with

Some of the findings:

  • Focus Time has a very high ROI for engineering teams
  • Engineers at small companies average 5.6 more hours of uninterrupted time per week compared to large companies
  • The average Manager and above spends nearly two hours in 1:1s every week
