Meeting Minutes Maker

What to write down

Minutes are a record of decisions, not a transcript. For each topic, note the outcome and only as much of the discussion as someone absent would need to understand it. Every action needs one named person and a date.

Formal meetings

Boards, associations and other formal bodies often have their own rules for minutes, such as motions, votes and a quorum. This maker suits everyday team meetings. If your organization has required wording, follow it instead.
