    Keep the discussion to items the affect the entire team/multiple disciplines. Anything super specific to a single discipline can be set aside for a side bar discussion.

    I'd make sure to have some sort of agenda that you can pass out to people so that they can see what's going to be discussed in the meeting and think about any questions or comments that they may have. On top of that I'd always make sure that people are comfortable talking in meetings and creating a collaborative environment.

    I think you should have an agenda that is sent out pre meeting and whatever relevant information as well so stakeholders can prepare for your meeting and allow the meeting to be of value rather than it be the first time they see it.

    I share my screen with the meeting agenda on it, and try to keep the yapping to a minimum.

What’s one engineering “best practice” that you think is actually overused or applied in situations where it doesn’t add much value? For me, it’s excessive documentation on very small, low-risk changes. Documentation is important, but I’ve seen teams spend more time documenting simple fixes than implementing them. Where do you draw the line?
