About the Action Items template
An Action Items log captures the specific tasks, decisions, and follow-ups that come out of meetings and reviews, assigning each an owner and due date. It turns discussion into accountable commitments, so agreed work doesn't get lost between status updates. Tracking action items in one place keeps the team aligned on who owes what by when.
It's part of My QMS, MyPMP's Quality Management System: fill it in online, personalize it with your name and logo, then export a clean, branded PDF. Your work auto-saves in your browser.

FAQ
How is an action item different from a task in a project plan?οΌ
Action items are short, follow-up commitments that typically arise from meetings and are completed within days or weeks, while project tasks are planned, scheduled work tied to the schedule and deliverables. Action items often feed into the plan once they grow in scope.
Who is responsible for maintaining the action items list?οΌ
Usually the project manager, meeting facilitator, or scribe owns the log, updating statuses and chasing owners before each review. The individual owners remain responsible for completing their own items.
How do you keep action items from being forgotten?οΌ
Give each item a named owner and due date, review the open list at the start of every recurring meeting, and mark items closed only when the outcome is verified. Regular visibility is what prevents drift.
