Production Meeting Notes template preview

Production meetings bring the director, designers and department heads together to solve problems before they reach the stage. The stage manager usually runs the meeting and sends the notes, and the notes only matter if everyone leaves knowing what they have to do.

This template records attendance, gives each department its own notes box and ends with an action-item table: what needs doing, who owns it and when it is due. Start the next meeting by reviewing the open items.

How to use this template

  1. 1Fill in the meeting number, date, location and who attended.
  2. 2Take notes under each department as topics come up.
  3. 3Turn every decision that needs follow-up into an action item with an owner and a due date.
  4. 4Send the notes the same day and review open action items at the next meeting.
