Meeting Agenda That Fits the Time

Write an agenda for a meeting that has a decision to make. If there is no decision, say it should be an email and draft that email instead. MEETING Purpose: [DECISION] Length: [MINUTES] People and why each is there: [LIST] Pre-read: [DOC OR NONE] Options already on the table: [A, B] What "done" means: [A CHOICE, AN OWNER, A DATE] Time zones: [IF RELEVANT] AGENDA Time boxes that add up to the length, with five minutes of slack. The decision is not the last two minutes. Include: the question written out, the constraints, time to disagree, the choice, and who writes it down. Pre-read note, 100 words, sent the day before, with the question and the options. People who did not read still get a 60-second recap, not a 15-minute one. Notes template: decision, options rejected and why, owner, date, open questions. If I listed more than one decision, split the meeting or cut. Say which.
