How do you prepare for and lead effective scope meetings with SMEs?

I’m preparing to facilitate my first project scope meeting for an eLearning project. I’ll be working from an existing PowerPoint and updating it into an eLearning course and I want to make sure I’m set up for success from the beginning.

I’d really appreciate any insights on these areas:

  1. What are must-ask questions you always include during a scope meeting?
  2. How do you typically prepare beforehand?
  3. Do you create a content outline ahead of time?
  4. What strategies do you use to keep SMEs engaged and talking so you can gather meaningful input?
  5. How do you build a realistic timeline, especially when you’re new and don’t want to overcommit or set unrealistic expectations?

I’m nervous for my first meeting. Any advice on how to conduct this meeting would be very helpful! Thank you in advance :)
