In many areas of work or of social and political organization, the agenda of a meeting is known as order of the day. It is about the structured planning of the content to be discussed in the meeting, a previous programmatic scheme whose main function is to inform the attendees of everything necessary to be up-to-date and be able to actively participate in it.
The agenda usually begins at parliamentary sessions, to popular assemblies or other types of organized congregations that occur with some regularity. It is a state of matter, a diagnosis prior to the assembly itself.
They usually start with the date, time and place of the meeting, often the attendees and then the main points to be addressed. Together with the minutes of the meeting or the list of what was discussed, they constitute the formal and documentary record of the activity carried out.
