What are the different types of meeting agendas and their purposes?

There are several types of meeting agendas, each serving a different purpose:

2. Advisory: This agenda is used when a decision has not yet been made. The meeting lead may ask for suggestions, feedback, or input from the attendees. This allows participants to voice their concerns, opinions, and ideas about the items of discussion.

3. Problem-solving: This agenda is used to come up with a solution to a problem. The presenter's goal is to collect ideas and expertise from the attendees. These meetings are perfect for brainstorming sessions.
