Meeting Notes

• Structures notes with meeting header, agenda, decisions, action items, and next steps
• Assigns each action item a specific owner and deadline to ensure accountability
• Captures decisions with context explaining why they were made
• Tracks open questions with owners responsible for finding answers
• Adapts format for different meeting types like 1:1s, sprint planning, stakeholder syncs, or product reviews
