Let me tell you the people why that is happening. It is because 
we are trying to solve problems without dividing into small 
chunks. This is a problem in my life, many people lives, and also 
businesses. If we just say that let's solve X problems (shared, 
GC, etc. whatever it is), without properly "defining" what small 
steps to be taken, what are trying to achieve, who will work on 
which part, people will continue talking without any achievement, 
and same topics come front of us again and again. The reason why 
project managers exist is this.

We need better documentation as Todo's, charts etc. Exempli 
gratia, I haven't seen any gantt chart like thing. It is not 
obvious where we are going. If a ship doesn't have a destination, 
no wind can help it.
