Meeting Notes Template

simple template I generated with claude to iteratively improve on myself

Meeting Notes #X: Title of what the meeting was about

1. Key Insights & Learnings

• Major points about what I should work next

• What I could have done better, where did I go wrong and how can I prevent it

• Sort of a TLDR without getting too deep

2. Progress Update

Accomplishments vs. previous action items. Helpful to keep track of multiple tasks.

Commitment	Status	Evidence/Results
Complete prototype	Done	[Link to demo/test data]
Research options	Partial	[Summary doc link] – 3/5 vendors evaluated

3. Action Plan

Clear next steps with ownership

Task	Deadline	Success Metric	Notes
Implement X	[Date]	Get something running on the board

4. Decisions & Rationale

For backing up your decisions and choices

• Decision: [e.g., use concept X over Y] Rationale: [data/learning from Section 1]

• Decision: [e.g., Delay implementing A] Rationale: [time + resource constraints]

5. Reflection & Growth

sort of a success journal.

• What worked well:

[e.g., Timeboxing research prevented scope creep]

• Improvement area:

[e.g., Need deeper cost-benefit analysis early]
