Snarky, but frankly, there will be meetings very regularly with people who care & fund the project, as well as meetings within the engineering team to keep everyone abreast of what's going on.

The trick is not to have pointless meetings. Someone should get something out of the meeting besides warm fuzzies and new doodles.

Agreed. I should have been more specifically snarky.
