Calling the process a Murderboard is the first strike. The DirEng not being involved in the design for a project this critical is the second strike. The DirEng being antagonistic in the meeting is the third. Three strikes and you should be out, for your own health and sanity. I have been in process meetings where we went over what went right, and what didn't, and how we can do better in the future. They were called retrospectives. I have once also been in a meeting, after the project failed (due to funding/requirements mismatch), to determine why. Even that was called a post-mortem, and that name also didn't sit well. It's insensitive, and there's no good reason.
