Today, I presented a High Level Design (HLD) for a data migration project I’m working on. I got lots of questions from my sister teams about things I hadn’t considered. Capturing the notes is a crucial step so we can follow-up on great points raised during discussion.

Also, as incentive to be the one to do this, summarizing the notes means that you’ll learn faster and be more in the loop. Both for the stuff you brought into the meeting, but also the additional contexts that people brought up during the meeting. And bonus: if you send out the meeting notes, you will reputation as someone who follows up and importantly, is good to have meetings with because the meetings lead to addressable issues and value-adds!
