About this template

How the word template is put together.

A Word file you can edit right away

Choosing Word in the Download as menu assembles a Word document on the page and saves it to your device. It opens in Microsoft Word, and also in Google Docs, Pages, and LibreOffice, so you can start typing straight into the sections.

The header fields become bold labels and each section becomes a heading, so the document is already structured when you open it rather than a wall of text.

Pick the meeting type first

The template is not one fixed layout. Choose standup, project sync, client call, one-to-one, review, or board, and the sections adjust to that meeting before you download.

The Word file is built in your browser with no upload step, so it works offline once the page has loaded. Your template is built on this page, and nothing you type leaves it.
