AI Notes for Product Managers
How to Summarize Feature Prioritization Meetings
Product managers often face the challenge of deciding which features to prioritize on their roadmaps. Taking accurate and structured meeting notes is crucial in ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned and that important details aren't lost. Well-documented discussions can lead to better decision-making and more successful product launches. Notes serve as a reference point that can be shared across teams and revisited during future planning sessions.
But what should you include in your meeting notes? We have compiled a list of key points to include in your meeting notes.
