Hi Tom,
As for me, there is no difference between the two.The agenda consists of items(points). :)

Hi Tom

An agenda (for a meeting, for example) is the whole thing. In other words, there may be some other information on it other than the points to be discussed/acted on/considered.

You can say "agenda points" to refer to the individual topics to be done or discussed, however to me that wouldn't necessarily be the most commonly used collocation. You can also say "agenda topics" or "agenda items" or "items on the agenda" etc.

The word "agenda" can also be used to refer to an ideology or underlying plan. For example, a political agenda.

Oops, sorry, my answer is totally ludicrous. 8) I gave a prompt answer without thinking about it. Many thanks, Amy!
Surely, agenda and agenda items are not the same.
According to my previous post one can make up a false conclusion that

examination is tantamount to examination questions.
