Minutes

[Turi]

Hi, been a lurker for a while now but I finally decided to make the move and register.

I'm actually a business Uni student and for a project management unit I've got to write up minutes of our team's weekly meetings. The problem is, I'm unsure of the exact and proffessional layout that needs to be adhered to - if there is a set way.

If anyone could give me an example layout or point me to an online minutes resource (I've already searched and failed) I would be incredibly greatful.

Many thanks.

In terms of your project meeting the minutes should be a brief synopsis of what is dicussed at each meeting, what actions are to be taken and most importantly by whom.

The layout is up to you to achieve the above but in the header put the date of the meeting, a list of all those that attended and apologies for those that could not attend.

The first section reviews the previous minutes actions.

The second section will contain everything new discussed in the current meeting.

The good thing about getting to write the minutes is that you can shift your actions onto someone else! :)

Just to add to Alpha's comments about actions... you should also put a target completion date against each action if you want them to be done in a reasaonable timescale !
