Meeting Minutes

Description

This template serves as a simple yet powerful way to record meetings. It includes sections for the meeting name, date, location, and a list of attendees. The main body provides space to write down the meeting agenda and a dedicated area to log action items. Each action item includes fields for what needs to be done, who is responsible, the due date, and the current status.

There’s also a built-in tracker that automatically counts how many action items are still open, helping teams stay on top of pending work.
