It should tell the participants what the meeting will be about. Clearly indicate key information such as the date, time, and venue of the meeting. Do not forget to include the names of the expected attendees and if there are special guests or resource speakers who will attend the meeting. 2. Provide a brief statement about the objective of the meeting. It should give an overview of what the meeting will cover without going into specific agenda items. 3. Present a schedule of the essential components of the meeting. This is the most important part of a meeting agenda as this will keep the group aligned with the objective of the meeting, and prevent the discussions from getting out of hand. For each item of the program, the time at each item should be discussed or its allocated length of time should be indicated. 3MGMT 8761: Simulation Assignment #1: Effective Meeting Agenda Creation (15% of Course Grade) 4. Provide an outline of the meeting agenda topics to be discussed. While the schedule is the core part of the meeting agenda, providing an overview of the topics for discussion will help the participants to prepare for the meeting. 5. List the points as questions that the team needs to answer. Avoid using vague terms. By stating it in question form, the participants will understand the purpose of the discussion. For example, consider an agenda item of simply 'Company Anniversary.' This is extremely open and it will leave the participants wondering what it is about the company anniversary that will be discussed. If we state it this way, "What preparations should be made for the company anniversary?" or "Who shall form the anniversary committee?"; the participants will be able to think about it, and they will come in prepared and excited for the meeting. Make sure to check the agenda for errors before sending it to the attendees of the meeting. The agenda should be sent out to the participants at least a week to three days before the actual day of the meeting. Sending it ahead of time will ensure that the attendees will have sufficient time to prepare for the meeting.
