Who Is the Audience in Your Meetings?

There are things that i would talk about in my one one with another engineer that i wouldn't necessarily talk about in a retro. Understanding who your audience is changes both the message and the value of the time spent. Here's a critical question to ask yourself, if you are not paying attention to who the audience is in your meetings, who is the meeting for? You might be dimoing your product to other engineers, and you might focus on particular aspects of the engineering that those engineers care about. Versus, if you're dimoing to a holder, like an investor or maybe a product support specialist, you're probably not going to focus on the engineering aspects of the demo.
