2. Setting Up Meetings
Having frequent team meetings is essential to be on track as it helps the team get a clear idea
of any updates and expectations. Various meeting-related documents can help meetings run
smoothly, such as meeting minutes and meeting agendas. Before the start of a meeting, it is
essential to have a meeting agenda. It contains a list of topics that will be covered during the
meeting to ensure nothing important gets left out and helps to be straight to the point. Having a
meeting agenda allows people to be prepared and think about the items that will be discussed.
Meeting minutes are effective documents that contain four essential parts (1) Action items,
which are lists that identify members' tasks. (2) Decisions, which include important decisions
made during the meeting. (3) Next steps, which contain main topics that will be discussed later.
(4) Attendance, which is a list of people who attended the meeting. This document should be
distributed to the entire group right after the meeting. Without meeting minutes, people might
proceed without agreement and miss important details.
Recommendation:
Regardless of the collaborative method, it is highly recommended to maintain clear
communication throughout any project period as it leads to every team’s success. Consistently
communicating additionally allows the team to clarify doubts and helps everyone stay on track.
