Focussing on what is really important makes everyone's job easier and gets stuff done quicker and better.
The lack of flexibility is actually a boon, not a burden. Prime lenses are, by definition, constrained. They force you to make choices as to what to shoot and how. Forces you to be more thoughtful about what you want to shoot, which is resulting in better pictures. They enable you to focus on what’s really important, which also makes a facilitator’s job easier. Simply timeboxing a conversation can be far more productive than having a facilitator try to intermediate.
Therefore:
Use prime lenses since less is more. timebox the unknown. one goal at a time, and it better be a guiding goal. just say no to any other stuff.
