What this sheet is for

Circulate an agenda that keeps a meeting to time, by putting a named lead and a number of minutes against every item before anyone sits down.

Who it is for

Chairs, secretaries, committee members and anyone who runs a recurring meeting that overruns.

How to use it

  1. Write the finish time on the agenda, not just the start.
  2. Give every item a lead. Items without one expand to fill the meeting.
  3. Say whether each item is to decide, to discuss or to note — people prepare differently.
  4. Circulate with the papers, far enough ahead that they can be read.
  5. Take any other business in advance where you can.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: An agenda circulated before the meeting, with a time against each item and space for people to prepare.

Times and leads. An item with a time against it and a named lead runs shorter than one without. That is most of what an agenda is for.

Write-on lines: Group or committee · Meeting · Date · Start · Finish · Place or link · Chair · Papers circulated
