I agree. I am having the same problem, with this meetings, and when I missed the last one, the project manager decided to assign me something that didn't make sense, and I had to rebuff him, and kindly tell him working on that piece of functionality right now was stupid. Project managers should just keep track on what's going on, and leave it to the technical team to decide on what to tackle first, or last.
