Six months from now nobody wants to read a paragraph to find out what was agreed.\n\u000f\nSAMPLE — COMPLETED MOM\nAn example of the same format, filled in. Delete this page before use.\n\u000f\nHOW TO WRITE GOOD MINUTES\nBefore the meeting\nCirculate the agenda. It becomes the skeleton of the minutes — without one you are writing from a blank page while trying to follow the discussion. Fill in the header block (project, date, attendees) before the meeting starts.\nDuring the meeting\nCapture decisions as they happen. Discussion can be summarised afterwards from memory; a decision cannot be reconstructed reliably.\nSay each action item out loud before moving on — \"so that's Sarah, checklist, by the 19th.\" This is the single highest-value habit in this document. It confirms the owner accepted the action, in front of everyone present.\nAfter the meeting\nWrite it up within the hour. Recall drops sharply — an hour later you have most of it, the next morning you have half.\nSend within 24 hours with a deadline for corrections: \"please flag anything wrong by Thursday.\" Silence after that is agreement, and that is what makes minutes usable as a record.\nCarry open actions into the next meeting. Open items from last time become the first agenda item this time. Actions that are never reviewed do not get done.\nSix mistakes worth avoiding\nTranscribing instead of summarising. Minutes are not a transcript. Three lines per agenda item is usually right.\nActions with no named owner. \"The team will review\" means nobody will review. One name per action.\n\"ASAP\" instead of a date. An action without a date cannot be chased and cannot be closed.\nDecisions buried in discussion. If someone has to read a paragraph to find what was agreed, the minutes have failed.\nSending days later. Minutes circulated a week on are archaeology, not a working document.\nNever revisiting open actions. The minutes become a filing habit rather than a tool.\nAdapting the format\nClient meetings: add a scope-impact note against each decision. This is the record that settles later disputes about what was agreed.\nBoard meetings: add a resolutions section and an approval signature line.\nTeam standups: drop discussion entirely. Blockers and actions only — five lines is a complete standup MOM.\nRequirement gathering: add an open-questions section. Those become the next meeting's agenda.\nFree template from analysistabs.com — more free project management templates at \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://analysistabs.com/templates/\" \\o \"Free Project Management Templates\" \u0014analysistabs.com/templates/\u0015","cbCaigzJvK672zuD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigzJvK672zuD","docx",26594,6,"English","# Before the meeting\n## Circulate the agenda\n# During the meeting\n## Capture decisions as they happen\n# After the meeting\n## Write within the hour\n## Send within 24 hours\n# Six mistakes worth avoiding\n## Avoid transcripts\n## Avoid unnamed owners and vague timelines\n## Avoid burying decisions","[{\"question\":\"How should the agenda be used when preparing meeting minutes?\",\"answer\":\"Circulate the agenda before the meeting.
