When the product marketer, product manager, and designer are the same person there is no alignment meeting.

In my experience at BigCorp, Inc., "alignment meetings" are for meeting with other teams, not for meeting with your own team. You'd just call that a "team meeting", "feature crew meeting", "leads meeting" (if it's just leads), or something to that effect. In BigCorp, Inc. you traditionally need to have both kinds of meetings somewhat regularly. Not sure how the advent of AI will change that structure.

They meet with customers as often as they meet with each other. Another one of those necessary evils IMO- it's not fun but it needs to get done.
