IDOARRT Meeting Design
IDOARRT is a straightforward framework for structuring meetings effectively. It helps facilitators clarify the purpose, expected outcomes, and roles at the start to ensure everyone understands the meeting's direction and goals.

- 3
Specify desired outcomes: what should the meeting achieve?
- 4
List the activities planned during the meeting and their sequence.
- 5
Clarify roles and responsibilities for facilitation, documentation, and timing.
- 6
Establish ground rules or guidelines to shape participant behavior.
