What this guide covers
A meeting template built around decisions, not status theatre.
Sections
- Review the inputs. Which work is complete, late, blocked or waiting for approval?
- Choose exceptions. Discuss only items that need a decision or new information.
- Assign actions. Name an owner, next step and due date.
- Check the process. Identify one recurring issue worth investigating.
- Close the loop. Review the previous action list before starting another.
Worked example
Agenda: 5 minutes previous actions; 10 minutes exceptions; 10 minutes decisions; 5 minutes owners and next steps. This is an example timebox.
