I don’t really use a template and I tend to send this out with the initial invite to give as much lead time as possible and then a link to a cloud doc that might change.
Here’s a recent one I sent with something like:
“I’d like to meet to discuss what you need as a data steward from a metadata catalog. At the end of our time we should have a list of functions you think are important in our architecture guard rail.
To prepare for our time, please spend five minutes reading the linked docs in the agenda
Topics to cover, please free to add anything you think is relevant:
- Different Personas, including stewards [link to an intranet page] - prepend
- How users use your data today, desired new uses -invited person1
- Any systems or APIs you currently have we could use to find metadata - invited person2
“
I cant format here but I’ll put people’s names in bold to help them understand the expectation.
If somebody emails me back an agenda item, I’ll add it to the agenda and update the calendar invite.
I’m not a professional meetinger, so I assume that people want to read as little as possible. And my goal is something specific and would rather never meet.
I think it is just an email tied to a calendar item that floats around in calendars, teams, whatever.
