In order to promote and accomplish a perpetual-discovery, continuous-value delivery environment, recurring meetings are replaced with environments where continuous clarity can be sought and received by crews, but only when needed. At the start of the circuit on day one, crews can get right into heads-down work, because all their planning was completed the day before.

Hummingbird Agile has a lean and limited number of sessions and rhythms that foster clarity and alignment, and they are quick, fluent, and multipurpose driven. At the team level, a zero-meeting mindset allows producers to perform less pre-planning activities and achieve a higher level of productivity during execution without sacrificing clarity around the work.
