Agenda

A list of items to be brought into a meeting. An agenda is a classic tool to get the most out of planning/doing type meetings. Questions, information, concerns, proposals, etc are recorded by the people intending to be at a meeting, ahead of the meeting. These points have conversational precedence and provide a facilitator with clear intentions to work with. Attendees have an opportunity to think without anchoring and the ability to research things they might need to know. Something like a riseup pad where meeting notes will also be taken is a nice way to use an agenda.
