English term or phrase: got bogged down on guessing
É sobre gerenciamento de reuniões. Nesse trecho, um dos participantes dá uma sugestão para o líder da reunião, após a reunião.

Maybe next time it would be good to have someone from the marketing department to give us an update, since in the last meeting we got bogged down on guessing what was in the pipeline

Sugestões?

Grato.
