Thanks for asking, this is a really good question!

In the JumpAsync app, the huddle topic and agenda are displayed on the main huddle page as well as the page where participants are recording their thoughts, it helps participants keep the topic on track.

In the agenda be sure to ask questions that points to an outcome if that's the goal of the huddle. Participants can interact and comment on each other’s recordings and discuss outcomes.

All the recordings are automatically transcribed so it's possible to go through them and note down outcomes and action points in a section on the huddles page.

I'd like to think that asynchronous communication is more deliberate and succinct than casual chats or meetings. People tend to organise their thoughts and think though what they say more intentionally and hopefully that drives more meaningful discussions and outcomes. Especially when participants know that responses can take up to 24 hours!

This is definitely the hard part of running distributed meetings. In the future I'd like to add more features to facilitate an outcome-driven approach to meetings. Let me know if you have any feature suggestions that can help with this.
