Explanation
An agenda is a list or plan of things to be done, discussed, or accomplished. People use it to stay organized and not forget tasks. In meetings, the agenda shows the topics and the order they’ll be discussed. In a broader sense, someone might say a person has a hidden agenda—meaning secret goals behind their actions. So, it can be both simple and strategic.
