  Dear Colleague,

   

  Would you be so kind to report to me on the past meeting? Please hit the reply button and fill in the questions below, then click send. Please keep in mind that your notes are part of the project documentation - among other things, they will be used by myself and other staff to stay informed about the state of the project. It is therefore essential that your notes - though kept short - are of high quality. In particular:

   

    a.. Do not use any abbreviations. 
    b.. Write notes that are understandable for somebody who was not present during the meeting 
   

  The head of your department

   

   

  [ABSTRACT]   Write one paragraph of coherent text to summarize the meeting as a whole from your role's perspective.

   

   The aim of this first "kick-off" meeting was to give the team members a chance to get to know each other, become familiar with the whiteboard and microphones, and discuss the project.  My role was to make sure that the meeting kept to its time frame and agenda.  I also tried to generate some enthusiasm for the project and a friendly atmosphere. 

   

   

  [DECISIONS]   Name all decisions that were made during the meeting. Mark those decisions that you consider of high importance for your role with a *. Write fragmented notes.



   Product should control multiple devices, eg VCR, DVD, Stereo, etc *

  Product should look good/trendy *



   

   

   

   

  [PROBLEMS/ISSUES] Name the problems or difficulties that occurred during the meeting. Mark those that you consider of high importance for your role with a *. Write fragmented notes.


   

   Not all of the team members were very vocal - expect this will change after they have carried out their tasks for the next meeting.


  I think we're all still a little unsure of what our roles are. 

   

   

   [ACTIONS]  Name the next steps that each member will take until the next meeting. Write fragmented notes.



  David (ID) - limitations imposed by costs - what functionalities can we provide with the financing restraints.

  Andrew (ME) - how to market product to different countries, selling points

  Craig (UID) - technical spec
