What should a meeting agenda include?

A good meeting agenda should include the meeting title, date, time, duration, location or video link, facilitator name, list of attendees, and a numbered list of agenda items with allocated time for each. It should also reference any previous action items and leave a blank section for new action items captured during the meeting. Clear agendas help attendees prepare in advance and keep discussions on track.

How do you write a meeting agenda?

Start by defining the meeting objective and choosing a suitable meeting type. List agenda items in logical order, assign a realistic time budget to each, and name an owner for every item. Send the agenda to attendees at least 24 hours before the meeting. This tool automates the process — pick a template, fill in your details, adjust the items, and export in seconds.

What meeting type templates are available?

Eight templates are included: Daily Standup (15 min), Project Kickoff (60 min), Sprint Retrospective (60 min), Brainstorming Session (45 min), 1-on-1 Meeting (30 min), Client Update (45 min), Board Meeting (120 min), and All Hands Meeting (60 min). Each template pre-fills agenda items with typical content for that meeting format.

How are start times calculated for each agenda item?

Start times are calculated automatically based on the meeting start time you enter. Each item's start time is the cumulative sum of the durations of all preceding items. If you change a duration or reorder items the times update in real time so the agenda always stays accurate.

What does the duration validator do?

The validator compares the sum of all agenda item durations against the total meeting duration you set. It shows a green confirmation when they match, an amber warning when the agenda is under by more than 2 minutes, and a red warning when the agenda runs over. This helps you allocate time realistically before the meeting starts.

Can I export the agenda as Markdown?

Yes. The "Copy as Markdown" button generates the full agenda using Markdown formatting — # headings, ## sub-headings, and - bullet lists — ready to paste into Notion, Confluence, GitHub, Slack, or any Markdown-aware tool.

How do previous action items appear in the agenda?

Any action items you add in the Previous Action Items section are included near the top of the generated agenda, just before the main agenda items. Each entry shows the action description, owner, and a status icon — a checkmark for Done, a clock for Open, and a dash for Deferred.

Is my meeting data saved or sent to a server?

No data is sent to any server. Everything runs entirely in your browser. The tool does not store or transmit your meeting details, attendee names, or agenda content. Close the tab and the data is gone — nothing is persisted.
