The purpose of doing meeting minutes is to have everyone on the team and everything related to the project straighten out in order. It helps you to remember what was discussed in the meeting, where did it happen, who attend it, who made the decisions and what decisions were made. After each meeting whoever was writing/typing the minutes of the meeting has given everyone a copy of the discussion so everyone can check if everything said in the meeting is written properly. This way it helps in future to provide answers if anyone says this wasn’t discussed or wasn’t his/her responsibility. After the meeting, everyone remembers what happened in the meeting and have some idea about what was discussed, so everyone knows what need to be achieved by the next meeting. In the next meeting, you can see how much work it’s been done and who didn’t do their responsibility on time. This will help you save time and money.
