Agenda Setting - Helpful Tips

The meeting agenda is a roadmap for the meeting. It lets participants know where they're headed so they don't get off track. Most importantly, the meeting agenda gives a sense of purpose and direction to the meeting.

All agendas should list the following:

  • Meeting start time
  • Meeting end time
  • Meeting location
  • Topic headings
  • Include some topic detail for each heading
  • Indicate the time each topic is expected to last
  • Indicate which meeting participants are expected to be the main topic participants
