What do you mean when you say each agenda item has a 'state'?
When we say that agenda items have a state, we mean that they are not static, but instead can be marked as being in a different condition, depending on the circumstances.
State of Open, Tabled, or Closed
In Tadum the agenda items in the Todos and Discussions sections can have a state of Open, Tabled, or Closed.
- Open - The agenda item has not been discussed yet or has not been resolved. Open agenda items will stay on the agenda and roll forward to subsequent meetings.
- Closed - The agenda item has been discussed and has been resolved. Closed agenda items do not roll forward. They are saved as read-only items on past agendas when a meeting is finished and removed from the
- Tabled - The agenda item is not a priority for the current meeting but will be a priority for a future meeting. Tabled items stay on the agenda and roll forward to subsequent meetings but are re-ordered to the bottom of their section.
State of On Target, At Risk, or Off Target
Agenda items in the Updates or Metrics sections can have a state of On Target, At Risk, or Off Target. These can be updated prior to each meeting. They will stay on the agenda and roll forward to subsequent meetings
- On Target - The agenda item is on schedule, on budget, or meeting its objective or goal.
- At Risk - The agenda item is slightly off schedule, slightly off-budget, or experiencing some challenges to meeting its objective or goal. This indicates it needs some attention but is not a large problem.
- Off Target - The agenda item is off schedule, off-budget, or not meeting its objective or goal. This indicates it needs immediate attention and may be a larger problem.
Note: Agenda items in the Attachment section do not have a state.
