Meeting FAQ
Why have a meeting?
The most common reason to have a meeting is to discuss something face to face. It could be a new idea, a new opportunity, a problem, to brainstorm something, reach a decision about something or any number of things. But it all comes down to discussion and face to face interaction.
Why have an agenda?
A meeting agenda helps you and your colleagues prepare for a meeting and guide yourselves through the items you need to discuss. Time spent in planning an agenda will likely save time for all meeting participants by providing a clear set of topics, objectives, and time frames.
How do you structure a meeting template?
Generally, include these meeting agenda items:
- Check-in with each team member
- Set clear meeting objectives
- Create an agenda using the Range topic builder
- Review metrics and milestones
- Team updates
- Project review
- Discuss action items and topics
- Other topics and output
- Check-out and closing round

It depends on your meeting of course! But these items usually make for a good recurring meeting.

- What's the update on key metrics and milestones?
- What progress have you made on those items?
- Where are you blocked? What's keeping the team from progressing?
