Meeting Parking Lot Board
Capture off-topic ideas the instant they come up in a meeting, tag an owner, mark them resolved when handled, then copy or print the follow-up list. Nothing is uploaded.
Built by the AbraCalc team
How to play
- Type the off-topic item into the box, add an owner if one is known, and click Park it.
- Watch the open count update live as items are added or resolved.
- Click the checkmark on an item once it has been handled to move it to Resolved.
- When the meeting ends, click Copy as text or Print list to save the full record.
Every meeting has a moment where someone raises a great point that has nothing to do with the agenda, and this board is where that point goes instead of derailing the conversation. Type the item, add an owner if one is obvious, and click Park it — the entry appears in the open list immediately, with a live count of everything still outstanding. When the topic finally gets handled, mark it resolved and it moves to its own section without being deleted, so there is always a record of what got parked and what happened to it. At the end of the meeting, copy the whole list as text for the notes or print a clean copy to hand out. Nothing typed here is uploaded or stored anywhere outside your own browser tab, so it is safe for internal or sensitive discussions.
Frequently asked questions
- What happens to an item when I mark it resolved?
- It moves from the Open section to the Resolved section instead of being deleted, so the board keeps a complete record of everything that was parked during the meeting and what happened to it.
- Can I add an item without assigning an owner?
- Yes, the owner field is optional. You can park an item with just its text and add or change the owner later by deleting and re-adding it, or simply leave it unowned in the export.
- Does the printed or copied list include resolved items too?
- Yes, both the print view and the Copy as text export list open and resolved items in separate labeled sections with their owners, so nothing captured during the meeting is ever lost.
