Before you turn notes into action items
What if the notes do not name an owner?
Keep the action unassigned and ask the meeting lead rather than letting the tool guess responsibility.
Should every discussion point become a task?
Only capture an agreed action or a clearly labeled question; background discussion can stay in the notes.
How do I keep the task list current?
Review the agreed actions at the next check-in and update completed or blocked items with their owners.
