This was a relevant post regarding any meeting for a tight-knit team with a focused objective. Which is to say, the one undeniable benefit is uninterrupted, distraction-free communication.

That said, if you're a resource to multiple teams/projects, many meetings just seem to become a sick joke where you talk about everything and do nothing.

P.S. I'm probably just being cynical, but I dislike when I can't tell where the helpfulness stops and the PR starts in these type of posts (company with stake in topic.) No disrespect intended to the OP...
