Description of the Template and Guide
This meeting agenda template helps a team find short-term tactical solutions to an urgent problem. The conversation includes time to gain a shared understanding of the problem, but focuses primarily on listing and evaluating possible solutions and the creation of a short- term action plan.
Use this meeting to answer the question:
“What are we going to do about this problem now?”
This design is NOT intended for use during an emergency, nor does it focus on finding the root cause of a problem.
