Engineering leads and chiefs of staff
From meeting notes to decisions and actions.
A meeting is only useful if what was decided and who owns what is clear afterward.
The problem
Why this is harder than it should be
Meeting notes capture everything that was said, not what was decided. Someone has to go back through and pull out the decisions and next actions — usually by hand, usually late.
