You have to be present in the meeting. All the places I have worked - and I have worked in many over 15 years - do not allow this. You need to be in a startup to be close enough to have this kind of impact. Agile just makes this situation worse. It's incredibly frustrating to be see the value you can add, but having no ability to make it happen.

Can't have pesky engineers with their pedestrian technical concerns mess with the business decision makers' thought process. A good engineer takes whatever the creative, smart visionary comes up with and implements it down to the smallest detail.
