Feature Update: Add Time Estimates for Agenda Topics

Apr 13, 2010 in New Features

A couple months ago we added time estimates for agenda topics. After you wrote your agenda you could go to a separate page and add time estimates for your topics.

We’ve updated this feature to make this process easier. You can now add time estimates as you write topics, without having to visit a separate page.


How does this work?

The form where you add an agenda topic has a new “Length” field:

New Topic Form with Time Estimate

Enter the number of minutes that you want to allot for this topic, or leave it at 0 if you don’t want to add a time estimate.

After you’ve added a time estimate, your meeting’s total time shows up at the top of the agenda:

Total Meeting Time

Click the “edit” link if you prefer the previous method of adding time estimates. This will take you to a separate page where you can add and edit all your time estimates at once.

    I like it. I think that having on one page as many of the entries about a meeting as possible (and the more entries that can fit on a laptop screen, the better) makes managing the meeting easier. Toward that end, I think it would be worth making the typeface of agenda items smaller and leaving less space between lines and items. Thank you.

    It’s a bit confusing to put the “length” of the agenda item next to “add minutes”, however.

    Hi John,

    Thanks for the kind words, and for checking this feature out. We agree that the word “minutes” can be a bit confusing here, and we’ll brainstorm a way to clarify it.

    We really appreciate all the feedback you’ve been giving us!
