Unit 15 Agendas Minutes Outline An agenda is a written list of topics or matters to be dealt with or talked about at a meeting. A good meeting agenda will serve as a guide to participants, making the meeting more efficient and productive. The format of an agenda is comparatively fixed. The first four items and the last three are usually the same for meetings, but the rest are different depending on what the meeting is about. Minutes are official written records of what is said at a meeting and what decisions are taken there. Generally speaking, minutes include time, place, the number of people present, the names of people, the number of people absent, the host, the minutes keeper , proposals and resolutions and so on. All the contents at the meeting are kept so that they can be consulted or referred to later.
