New Feature: Add Time Estimates for Agenda Topics

Feb 7, 2010 in New Features

You can now add time estimates for agenda topics. This helps you plan how long you want to spend discussing each topic. We’ve had lots of users request this feature – thank you for your feedback!


How does this help?

Time estimates help you see if you can cover your entire agenda during the meeting. For example, if the agenda has 5 topics, and each topic needs 20 minutes of discussion, you won’t be able to go through your agenda in an hour long meeting. By quickly jotting down time estimates for each topic, you can check if the agenda is too ambitious for the amount of time that you have.

During your meeting, you can use your time estimates to keep the meeting moving from topic to topic, so that you can discuss everything on the agenda.


How does this work?

Click on the “Add times” button at the top of the agenda:

Add Times Button

This takes you to a page where you can add time estimates for each topic. As you add time estimates, we’ll automatically update the meeting’s total time:

If the meeting’s total time gets too long, and you want to quickly see which topics you can shorten, take a look at the graph on the right side of the page. It shows a breakdown of each topic’s estimated time:
