Meetings are for:

-clarity

-identifying problems

-discovering solutions

-planning

-educating/training

What meetings are not for:

-getting updates to things you already have access to

-asking questions you should have the answer to

-hiding your responsibility on another team member

-doing the work that should have been done prior to the meeting

Bottom line, come prepared. It will show the respect you have for your time and your team’s time.
