Your post just made me shudder. There's nothing I can say or do to stop my PM from calling those exact meetings. I've gone so far as to say, "I'm already working with [dept rep 1] and [dept rep 2], they're both being extremely responsive and actively working on solving this problem with me. There's no need to take action." The immediate response is to call a meeting, bring in extra business people, and call it a "working session" that ultimately slows progress and increases confusion because now the tech people have to continually translate what we're doing into non-tech speech.
