action point

Meeting-assigned task

An action point is a specific task assigned to someone, typically arising from a meeting or discussion.

It names who should do what by when: The meeting ended with three action points for the committee.

The term is common in business and organizational contexts, often appearing in meeting minutes or project management.

In gaming, action points are units limiting how much a character can do per turn.
