When to use
Use after the hook when the meeting has three or more beats. Do not use for a two-slide note. Do not use Cloud architecture boxes for an agenda.
Guidelines
Numbered beats in time order. The action title says what will be true when we leave, not “Agenda.”
Example
Harbor steering
Today we lock the wave plan, then the cutover risks.
Working session · 25 min
Four beats, action title states the meeting outcome. Steal the numbered journey, not a table of contents dump.
Rules
- Three to five beats. Each beat is two to five words.
- Title is an action sentence about the meeting, not the word Agenda.
- Time or duration may sit in the source line, not as a competing title.
