A good agenda indicates: the meeting date, time, and place, items for information, discussion, and decision, and the time allotted for each, the person introducing or sponsoring each item. If you don"t take formal votes, summarize the group"s consensus after each point. At the end of the meeting, summarize all decisions and action items, and remind the group who is responsible for doing what, when. The standard agenda is a seven-step process for solving problems. In dot planning, group members brainstorm ideas, then each person puts adhesive dots beside the points or proposals he or she cares most about. Minutes should record: people present, decisions reached, action items, in which someone needs to do something, open issues topics raised but not resolved.
