Weekly meetings drift when the agenda is a list of topics: nobody knows what is wanted from them, the decision runs out of time and the actions are vague. This team meeting agenda template gives the chair one page: the purpose, the date and attendees, timed items phrased as questions with an owner each, a parking lot, an actions block and the next meeting.

The sample is a 60-minute Tuesday meeting at Hartwell Digital, a fictional agency, with a 5-minute check-in, 15 minutes of updates, a 25-minute budget decision, a 5-minute parking lot and 10 minutes for actions. The minutes sum to the meeting length. Replace the purpose, items, owners and pre-read, check the timings add up, and move any decision earlier in the hour.
