How to write a minute of meeting?

We Answered:

An easy to read Meeting Minutes is the three column format.
First column holds the agenda item, second column has a brief description of the pertinent discussion (facts and/or agreements); and the third columns shows the actions steps (who is going to do what).

What's good about the 3-column format is that readers can scan it quickly to see what is complete, what needs to be done, or what needs to be brought up again next meeting. I favor the 3-column for the local and national meetings that take up 40% of my work week because it is a graphic display of the Action Steps needed (that 3rd column). It's very easy to see if something needs to be done before next meeting, or if there's a need to have another meeting. Or, that another one is not needed.

Whichever meeting minutes layout you decide upon, be brief.
It's important to include all aspects of what goes on in a meeting (which agenda items were brought forth, issues examined, agreements made, commitments to action) but this is not an essay. Just saying a topic was discussed is appropriately succinct, citing what was agreed to is the important detail. This makes bullet point format an appealing one for meeting minutes.

Be sure to record all attendees.
Have an agenda prepared before entering the meeting.
Be flexible (if other issues present, add them onto your list)
Record pertinent facts in brief.
Complete your minutes as soon as possible after the meeting (so not to forget).

In some organizations, one might submit their minutes to be approved either at the next meeting, or by someone more senior (or technical) from the meeting.

There really is a lot out on the web about holding meetings and writing meeting minutes, this is just a start:

The minutes should not be a regurgitation of who said what in the sequence they said it.

Rather, the minutes are a report on who was at the meeting, what decisions were made, what official actions happened.

Some kind of outline format, so someone can skim down list of decision topics, which got approved, what did not, what was tabled for someone to report back later on some investitgation.

The minutes should be circulated to everyone who was at the meeting ASAP like within a couple days, when the meeting still fresh in their mind so they can tell you what needs corrections.

It depends on the company. Most companies have their own standard way of writing minutes. If you are just doing this for school or something, you can break it into bulleted lists.
