About the Team Meeting Agenda template
Making the time for your team is important to help you to make decisions, align on priorities, and move in the same direction together. Uninterrupted team meeting time with an agenda can help your team:
Review progress against team OKRs (objectives and key results)
Share relevant project updates
Discuss productivity or progress roadblocks and potential solutions
Brainstorm for ideas or projects
Recognize individual efforts and celebrating team wins
This team meeting agenda template can be customized for any function or department – from metrics tracking, to marketing campaigns, to sprint planning.
What is a team meeting agenda?
Team meeting agendas add a schedule and structure to your allocated time slot when you need to share information and collaborate with your team. They also allow your team to agree on goals, talking points, action items, and who will lead the next steps. A typical team meeting agenda will include:
Planning details like the date, time, location, and who needs to attend
A person to lead the meeting
Topics to discuss
Action items
Make sure you check in with your team or any direct reports before the meeting to get feedback on the most relevant talking points.
Even if you’re just asking for what your team would like to talk about, current project statuses, or anything they’d like to share, it will help everyone feel heard and acknowledge that they’ve contributed to the meeting agenda.
Create your own meeting agenda
Setting up your own meeting agenda is easy. Get started by selecting the team meeting agenda template, then take the following steps to make it your own:
Name the meeting. Is your meeting a team sync? A retrospective? A workshop? Prep the group for the meeting by letting them know what kind to expect.
Do the minutes. Define the amount of time you’ll be spending on different parts of the meeting.
Strategic alignment. Identify who’s leading the meeting, add their name or names into the template. Set clear goals and agreements and add any relevant documentation to the meeting.
Document talking points. Use the template to assign discussion topics to attendees and indicate their time slots.
Kick off the meeting and start adding notes. Begin taking notes of what's discussed during the meeting. To stay on track, try timeboxing using Miro’s countdown timer.
Record the outcome. Document and assign next steps to the relevant team member. Prioritize which tasks will lead to the highest impact and return on investment. Give each team member the responsibility to take ownership of specific tasks beyond the meeting.
Pro tip: Recap and act on the next steps. Aim to end on a positive note with clear action items and takeaways. This approach will give each team member something to accomplish and follow-up on until the next meeting.
What should be included in a team meeting agenda?
A Team Meeting Agenda template can be very flexible, but some things are fundamental for running a successful meeting: goals, topics, time slots, and outcome. If you include these things, you and your team can easily align on projects with the meeting agenda template, set clear expectations, and run the meeting more efficiently.

Parking Lot Matrix Template
Works best for:
Project Management, Ideation, Meetings
When the creative energy is flowing, a workshop or meeting will yield a lot of new ideas — but not all are on-topic or currently feasible. Roll them right onto a parking lot matrix, a simple, effective tool for separating the best ideas from those that are promising but could use more research or discussion. This template will let you easily make your own parking lot matrix, which will come in especially handy during long meetings (and when you have teammates who tend to go off-topic).
Meeting Reflection Template
Works best for:
Meetings, Brainstorming, Team Meetings
When schedules get hectic, “learning by doing” becomes the default way to learn. So make time for your team to learn in other valuable ways — by reflecting and listening. Led by “learners,” (team members who share with the rest of the team), a meeting reflection lets teammates share new information about a client’s business or an internal business initiative, offer problem-solving techniques, or even recommend books or podcasts worth checking out. Meeting reflections also encourage colleagues at all levels to engage in each other’s professional development of their teammates.
