Delivery theatre thrives in growing companies. Each incident spawns a new recurring meeting. Eventually the week is a corridor of status updates with no room left to write code or make a call.
Audit ceremonies by output: decision recorded, risk accepted, or work re-sequenced. If a meeting cannot name its output type, convert it to asynchronous notes or delete it.
Keep a decision log next to the calendar. When leaders see decisions clustering in ad-hoc chats rather than scheduled forums, you have evidence that the forum itself is mis-designed.
Fewer, sharper rituals beat a dense theatre schedule every time.
