How to use this template for your next

Project Management Team Meeting

Project management team meetings can be one of your most fun and valuable meetings, getting everyone aligned and energized, but they can also easily be your most painful. To make your PM meetings seamless put the agenda for each meeting into a shared doc and link to it in the invite, let attendees add to the agenda prior to the meeting. I’d suggest meeting one to two times a month. The bigger the team, the less frequent.

Also, no laptops allowed.
