Minutes for meetings are crucial as they allow for team members to be aligned on what was discussed throughout the meeting. This can be helpful in ensuring that team members are aware of what tasks need to be completed as well as establishing when the task should be completed by. Having this documentation is a way to prevent from team members forgetting to complete the task or claiming that the task was not discussed. Additionally, if testing is the task that needs to be completed, the minutes may show the test design. For example, for a test that requires Instron testing on syringes, the minutes may lay out different test parameters such as the sample size. Additionally, the minutes can help fill in a team member who was not able to attend to meeting through summarizing what occurred during the meeting as well as the next steps. Meeting minutes can also help for future projects as they can help project teams refer to see how tasks were completed in the past, which they can use as a template.
