Layout Pattern

Action Plan

Table of actions with owner, due date, and status. Turns conversation into commitments.

How to Use It

The closing slide of decision meetings and working sessions. Table format with columns: Action, Owner, Due Date, Status. 5-10 rows - more and people stop reading. Each action should be verb-first and specific ("Send vendor RFP to three candidates" not "Explore vendor options"). Assign owners by name, not team. Include this slide in follow-up emails so the room cannot pretend there were no commitments.
