Creating a Meeting Agenda
The meeting agenda is a roadmap for the meeting. It lets participants know where they're headed so they don't get off track. Most importantly, the meeting agenda gives a sense of purpose and direction to the meeting.
All agendas should list the following:
- Meeting start time
- Meeting end time
- Meeting location
- Topic headings
- Include some topic detail for each heading
- Indicate the time each topic is expected to last
- Indicate which meeting participants are expected to be the main topic participants
