It hasn’t happened to me personally, but recording the minutes of each meeting allows everyone involved to be on the same page about what was discussed. Many times some things may be stated or decided that are later disagreed upon. If the meeting minutes are logged correctly, this can be easily resolved by referencing that. It also allows you to keep track of attendance of those meetings, especially when it involves a larger group of people. It can also give an outline of what items are going to be discussed or what items need to be addressed. This allows people to have a better idea of what will be discussed and if they need to prepare something for that meeting, they will know based on the agenda. While it may seem tedious or unnecessary, it will be beneficial in the long run.
