How to Use a Meeting Minutes Template Effectively

Taking minutes can help your team to excel with projects by taking down ideas as they arise and pinpointing any potential issues before they affect a project. 

 

  • Choose the right template for your meeting type.
  • Pre-fill basic details before the meeting (date, attendees, etc.).
  • Follow the agenda to organize your notes.
  • Capture key points, not everything—focus on decisions and actions.
  • Clearly record action items with what, who, and when.
  • Review and distribute minutes shortly after the meeting.
  • Follow up on action items in the next meeting.
