What Makes Up an Agenda?
A formal agenda template usually follows a format that starts with a call to order and is ended through adjournment. The entire flow of this agenda process are as follows:
- Call to order. This is done by the Chairman or the leader or president of the meeting. It gives emphasis for people to prepare themselves for the meeting and serves as a signal that the discussion is about to start.
- Roll call. All the expected attendees must be present during the meeting.
- Approval of the previous minutes of the meeting. What has been discussed in the past meeting shall be tackled, especially if there are plotted plans that needs developmental reporting. Items that are not provided with solutions or of which were given but does not work shall be included again in the current meeting and must have another set of plans that will help it improve its condition.
- Introduction of the items to be discussed. A list of the items that will be the focus of the formal discussion must take place to give the attendees an idea of what they are going to talk about.
- Discussion of objectives and how set goals can be achieved. As the body of the formal discussion, this part will only work through proper communication and allowing all the members to be open about their insights, decisions and suggestions.
- Discussion of the things achieved in the current meeting and items of focus for the next meeting. After all has been discussed, there will be a checklist to be done which includes items that have been discussed and given proper actions and solutions, items that are needed to be finished come next discussion, and other goals that needs to be reiterated on the following meetings to come.
- Adjournment. This is a formal way of ending the meeting done by the head of the discussion panel as well.

A formal agenda is very important and must always be considered as it serves as the backbone of the meeting. A certain discussion can be unorganized and inefficient if it will not follow the format that it needs to follow. Also, important parts of why the meeting has been done may not be covered because of focusing on other items and straying from a current topic discussion once a new topic has already been opened.
