アジェンダ (Ajenda; Agenda)

An agenda is a summary of a planned flow of events. These events are meeting topics for discussion (also known as gidai in Japanese). It is common practice to use a list or bulleted format to organize topics in an agenda.

Agendas can also be an overview of events at seminars, lectures, and presentations.

例：今日の会議のアジェンダを共有します。
1.先週の売上結果の報告
2.先週の売上結果の要因
3.今週の売上計画
4.新商品の案内 以上です。

議題 (Gidai; A topic of discussion)

A gidai is a specific problem to be addressed during a meeting. Several themes can be found in a meeting agenda, all of which are gidai. In English, gidai is referred to as agenda, subject, or topic of discussion.

例：この件は、明日の会議の議題にあげましょう。

議事録 (Gijiroku; Minutes)

A gijiroku is a document that records what was stated during a meeting. It is common to organize the contents of a gijiroku according to the sequence of agendas or gidai. Being able to write a gijiroku is a fundamental business skill. One can further their understanding of specific problems or business operations through the process of writing a gijiroku. As a result, newly hired employees are often tasked to draw up a meeting’s gijiroku. The English word for gijiroku is minutes.

例：今日の会議では、私が議事録を担当します。
