At its core, this template is very simple. Every attendee talks about their progress from last time, the problems they faced and the plans they have next.

Where can you use this meeting template?

If you want to set up an agenda where you want to review work & project progress, this meeting template is great! E.g. 

• Daily standup meetings 
• Weekly status updates
• Project review meetings
• Monthly goal planning meeting

#1 Progress

To come up with this list, encourage everyone to - 

• Think about what they have achieved new since the last meeting
• List down their biggest achievements

The more specific and achievement oriented the update, the better

#2 Problems

These are items that -

• The person faced issues while executing 
• They are stuck on because they need some help or unblocking from other team members

#3 Plans

I am sure you get the gist now! These are things that they plan to work on now. 

Some stuff to remember

• Encourage everyone to be specific when giving their updates! E.g. “I plan to increase our email marketing coverage to more people” is a bad idea. 
• Instead they should say this “In next 3 days, I will send out 2 more newsletters to our 3500+ email subscribers, and hope to get minimum 30% open rate”
• The meeting facilitator has an important role to play here. They should make sure that no one steps outside the agenda, and the template is well documented for future reviews.
