During a project status meeting, which meeting role is primarily responsible for guiding the discussion, encouraging participation from all attendees, and ensuring the conversation stays aligned with the agenda and meeting objectives?
The facilitator owns the meeting process. This person steers the discussion, keeps topics on track, promotes balanced participation, and helps the group reach the desired outcome. Other roles focus on specific tasks: the scribe (or recorder) captures notes and minutes, the timekeeper monitors the schedule, and the project sponsor provides strategic direction and resources rather than running the meeting.
