Consensus Agenda

The facilitator collects issues for discussion from all parties to ensure that all issues team members want to discuss have been collected and prioritized. The agenda becomes a "road map" for the meeting. The time allotted for each agenda item can be written next to the discussion item. It is a good idea to order the items on the basis of their time dependencies and importance in case time runs out. Once the agenda has been agreed on, the facilitator sticks to the schedule unless the group consents to do otherwise.
