When to use this form
Use this after meetings, stand-ups, audits, or site walks when follow-ups are clear and you need to lock down owners, scope, and deadlines. It helps project managers, team leads, and assignees turn notes into trackable steps that do not slip. Capture items after kickoffs to break goals into tasks, or during retros to log fixes. Pair it with the Task assignment form to name an owner and watchers, and reference the Job completion form to define how you will mark work done. The outcome is a shared, prioritized list with due dates and status you can review in stand-ups.
Must Ask Action Items Details Questions
- Who owns this action item?
Clear ownership drives accountability and prevents duplicate work. It also tells others who to contact for updates or decisions.
- What outcome and success criteria define "done"?
This makes the request measurable and testable. When success is explicit, reviewers can approve quickly and you avoid rework.
- When is it due, and what dependencies or milestones affect the timeline?
A due date and dependencies set realistic expectations and reveal sequencing. You can capture risks and pre-work in the Pre-task planning form to keep schedules honest.
- What resources, files, or procedures are required?
Listing required files, access, and procedures reduces stalls. Link specs or SOPs through the Technical documentation form so teammates can find them fast.
- How will you verify and record completion, and who signs off?
Defining evidence, tests, and the approver ensures consistent quality and a clean audit trail. It also simplifies reporting and lets you close the loop without back-and-forth.
