How do your preparations look like?

For a while, I've been sharing the progress of organizing our team, the logistic for an in person jam and our hardware/software woes for LD56 over on Mastodon under the hashtag #RoadToLudumDare (https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/RoadToLudumDare) and I was wondering how everyone else's preparations look like? I assume it differs a lot whether you're a solo dev or a part of a team? Online vs in person?
