      What are the different types of Agenda Items for my Meetings?

      Discover the different types of Agenda Items in Metronome to organize and optimize your meetings. Use Questions, Topics, Priority & Metric Searches, Action Item Tracking, and Checklists to keep discussions focused and teams aligned.

      When creating a meeting in Metronome, the best approach is to start with a Meeting Template. Templates provide a structured framework that you can customize by adding Agenda Items to fit your meeting rhythm.
