About the Meeting Minutes template
Meeting minutes are the official written record of what was discussed, decided, and assigned during a meeting. They create an accountable audit trail, keep absentees informed, and prevent the recurring disputes that arise when decisions live only in people's memories.
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.

- 💡Assign every action a single owner and a date; shared ownership usually means no ownership
- 💡Circulate minutes within 24 hours while context is fresh and corrections are easy

FAQ
What is the difference between meeting minutes and meeting notes?＋
Minutes are a structured, formal record focused on decisions and actions that can be referenced later, while notes are informal personal jottings with no official standing.
Who is responsible for taking the minutes?＋
Usually a designated secretary, project coordinator, or a rotating attendee—anyone except the person chairing, since facilitating and accurate note-taking are hard to do at once.
How much detail should meeting minutes contain?＋
Enough to capture each agenda item's outcome, all decisions with who approved them, and action items with owners and dates—summarize discussions rather than transcribing them word for word.
