So in launching our product/dev team from scratch, we were able to collectively write our own rules. One standout from that process was "sprint demos/retros suck". And we all knew why: "stakeholders". So we eliminated them, and replaced them with a weekly Friday "Show & Tell" with just prod/dev. They have been my favorite business meetings of my career (25+ years!). Mutual admiration, gratitude, and good vibes.

No "when will [version on the roadmap for 2 months from now] go out?" No repeating yourself for the Nth time. No "can I get the logo in cornflower blue."

For those curious for more details: The show & tell is 30 minutes and we rarely go over. We still do incident retros (1 so far). We do 1 monthly retro (1 hour) of our process and goal progress.
