Tips for better results

  • Write down owners and dates as they're said. "Maya to email client, need by Mar 12" becomes a complete action item; "email client" gets "Owner not stated".
  • Paste the transcript if you recorded the meeting. The writer pulls decisions and action items out of long discussions.
  • For board minutes, note who made and seconded each motion and the vote count. Formal minutes need them, and the writer won't guess.
  • Send minutes within a day. The action items are only useful while people still remember agreeing to them.
