Overview

Create WorkBoard Meetings to discuss your Objectives, Key Results, Workstreams, Action Items and any work associated with your strategic initiatives.

WorkBoard Meetings integrate with Google Calendar & Microsoft Outlook, so you can create  WorkBoard meetings for all of your calendar events to track your meeting outcomes.

Integrate a Calendar

Learn how to setup your Calendar Integration. While it's not a requirement, it streamlines creating meeting agendas for new and existing calendar events, and we recommend it for an optimal experience. 

Integrated calendar events are automatically pulled into WorkBoard, so all you have to do is create agendas & take notes  – while continuing to manage your schedule on your calendar.

When your calendar is integrated with WorkBoard meetings, you can quickly scan to see which meetings have topics on the agenda to best prepare for your next meeting.
