The Hidden Cost of Meeting Setup
How Context Switching Drags Down Productivity
Current Pain Points in Remote Collaboration:
- Team members manually leave Mattermost to access Whereby
- Multiple steps create 2-3 minute delays per meeting
- Context switching disrupts focus and workflow
- Meeting links get buried in busy channels
- The process repeats multiple times daily across teams
Impact: For teams with just 5 impromptu meetings per day, this represents 10-15 minutes of lost productivity daily—or 40-60 hours annually per team on meeting logistics alone. This doesn't account for the additional cognitive cost of task switching and regaining focus after each interruption.
