If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you’ve been to a meeting that was less than stellar.

Maybe it was the wrong people in the room at the wrong time, or maybe there was so much going on that people weren’t able to focus on what was important. Regardless of the reason, meetings can be incredibly unproductive if they’re not planned properly.

Want to host a meeting that people actually want to attend? Your first step is sending that meeting agenda in advance. If done right, an agenda ensures everyone involved in an upcoming meeting knows exactly what they need to bring and what agenda items will be discussed so everyone can get their work done efficiently and effectively.

This is why we’ve put together these 90+ meeting agenda templates.

Why you need an agenda for every meeting

A meeting agenda is a critical tool for anyone who has to manage and lead others. It helps keep everyone focused on the tasks at hand, prevents unnecessary distractions and keeps things moving smoothly from start to finish. An agenda also gives you an opportunity to review what was discussed in previous meetings, so that you can make note of topics or issues that require further discussion.

What’s needed in a meeting agenda?

A meeting agenda is a document that outlines all the information needed for a group of people, such as coworkers or employees, to attend a meeting. This includes:

• Who will be in attendance
• The purpose of the meeting
• What topics they’ll be discussing
• Time allotments for each agenda item

By creating this document ahead of time and sending it out before your meeting begins, you allow attendees to come prepared with ideas and any documents they need. Plus, it gives them time to look over anything else relevant so that they don’t waste valuable time during the actual meeting.
