Notes

• If you are having a physical meeting, the ideal is to project this page on the wall and add to it as the meeting occurs.

• This has two extremely positive effects

  • It ensures that all the meeting attendees agree on the notes

  • It eliminates the need for retyping notes later on

Action Items

• As the meeting progresses, add any action items to this section to make sure they don't get forgotten or dropped

• During the wrap-up phase of the meeting, review the notes and add any additional action items that spring to mind

• Each action item should specify the task, the person responsible, and the due date.  Here is an example:

• Finalize and publish list of new features to PBwiki.com Web site (Ramit Sethi, by 3/15/2008)
