TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
1 - You need to clarify what level of detail your boss wants in these
minutes and what purpose they will serve.
2 - If they want transcription, then a live stenographer or a transcriber
working from tapes should be doing it, not a technical writer.
3 - If you have a laptop, bring it into the meetings and make the high
level notes right then and there. Saves enormous amount of time. I have
even done this in meetings where we could project the minutes as I took
them, people loved that.
4 - During the meeting do not hesitate to speak up when you have a
question about what is an item to include in the summary, whether
something is on topic, who is speaking, to whom something has been
assigned, etc.
