Product Information

If you’re in a meeting and need more time, you can extend it on the spot. However, this feature is only available to the host and requires a Pro, Business, or Enterprise account. You can use them in your company’s meetings too. You just have to choose the agenda that suits your team the best. Although in process sees some use, it is not nearly as common as in progress. This makes me think that in process is simply a malformed variant of in progress, but I don’t know enough about the history of these phrases. If you’re leading a meeting, but want some advice on the best way to do this, take a look at our Middle Leaders How To: Lead a Staff Meeting resource - perfect for CPD!

Sitting through a meeting that doesn’t have an agenda is pretty similar to setting out on a treasure hunt without a map. Nobody wants to sit in a meeting listening to one person dominating the conversation so limit the time any one person is allowed to speak by moving the meeting along to the next topic.Now that you know what to do, let’s look at some meeting agenda examples to help you see what these steps look like in action.

Whatever type of project meeting you are holding there should always be an agenda distributed beforehand to the participants. Assign follow-up actions specifically to an individual with an expected completion date. Whoever is recording the meeting minutes should also create an action plan. In some sense, in process seems to make logical sense, as does in progress, but it is comparatively rare to hear anyone use this term in speech or writing. Stay focused on discussing progress updates, assigning actions or revising the schedule where necessary. Do not deal with any unrelated issues – defer them instead to another meeting. You can even use our tropical weekly bulletin for your staffroom, letting everyone know when important meetings are happening across the school. What should be included in a staff meeting?Meetings are expensive and can be difficult to organize. They’re only productive when they can utilize time effectively. But as the project manager you need to remember that a progress meeting is what it says and you need to remind the attendees of this fact, if necessary. A progress meeting is not a time to air grievances, raise change requests or listen to the technical minutiae of an ongoing problem. It consists of a list of topics, action items, and activities you want to discuss during the meeting.
