Meeting Notes and Minutes

Overview

Good meeting notes make outcomes durable. They focus on decisions, actions, and key context rather than transcribing everything that was said.

When to Use

  • After any meeting that produced decisions or actions
  • Formal board / committee minutes
  • Workshop or working-session documentation
  • Handover notes between teams

Recommended Structure

  1. Meeting metadata (title, date, attendees, absentees)
  2. Purpose / agenda
  3. Key discussion points (brief)
  4. Decisions made
  5. Action items (owner, due date, description)
  6. Open questions or parking lot
  7. Next meeting (if applicable)

Principles

  • Prioritize decisions and actions over discussion detail
  • Write action items with clear owners and timing
  • Distinguish facts, decisions, and opinions
  • Distribute notes quickly while context is fresh
  • Keep formal minutes appropriately neutral and precise

Verification

  • Someone who was not present can understand what was decided
  • Every action has an owner
  • Notes are short enough that people will actually read them
