Understanding the Difference Between Agenda and Minutes
I just want to know the difference between an agenda and minutes. Can anybody explain how to create them and when we should create them? Also, what can I do to prepare both of them? Please help and suggest.

Agenda
This refers to the planned schedule, i.e., what is planned for the day ahead. For example:
Agenda of a CEO for today:
a) To conduct a seminar
b) To attend a stakeholders meeting
c) To deliver a lecture
d) Meeting for the merger of the company
Minute
Usually, we refer to it as Minutes of Meeting. It is basically the summary of the same. Continuing with the above example:
The meeting between the stakeholders led to the following:
a) Opening of the meeting
b) Discussed pros and cons of the merger
c) Discussed financial status of the merger
Therefore, an agenda is what is scheduled for the day, whereas minutes are the summary or result of any particular meeting. Mostly, personal assistants to the CEO or similar roles are asked to draft and circulate the minutes.
Hope this clears your concept regarding agenda and minutes.
