Taking minutes in meetings and reviewing them after are very important. They often provide when certain projects are due and what is needed to be completed. If you miss something in a meeting or forget what might have been said, the minutes will give you an overview of everything that was stated in the meeting. This will allow you to stay on track and complete tasks as scheduled. Even if nothing is forgotten from the meeting, the notes will help you to make sure that everything is completed as needed. There is less confusion when notes are taken in meetings because they are always there as a reference.
