But, alas, other people have differing opinions and we have to play nice. Specifically; Important and Unimportant are subjective. Agenda for a meeting is usually not set in stone. “Business review” is fairly ambiguous. Change over time? Do you want to know something is trending poorly early or late? Keep an eye on it. Audience likes to see things a certain way, you comply. Even if some of it is repetitive or unimportant. So on.
