Create a new 1-on-1 agenda
This section walks through how to create a new 1-on-1 agenda between yourself and another person. It isn't necessary to create 1-on-1 agendas with your direct team (i.e. manager and direct reports), as they are automatically generated by 15Five.
Note
You will only see the option to create 1-on-1 agendas with individuals who aren't on your direct team if an Account admin has enabled 1-on-1s with anyone in feature settings.
- Click 1-on-1s in 15Five's main, left-hand navigation bar.
- You'll land on your 'My 1-on-1s' page. From here, click the Create a new 1-on-1 button in the top, right-hand corner of the page.
- A 'Create a new 1-on-1 agenda' pop-up will appear. Click into the search bar and begin typing the name of the person you want to create a new 1-on-1 agenda with.
Note
If you don't see the option to create a 1-on-1 with someone who isn't either your direct manager or your direct report, your company doesn't have 1-on-1s with anyone enabled. If desired, reach out to one of your account admins to request that they enable this feature.
- Click Create a new 1-on-1.
- You will be automatically redirected to the 1-on-1 agenda wizard. Here, you'll see talking point resources to help you craft your first 1-on-1 agenda with this person. Utilize these resources, or click Start crafting my 1-on-1 to create a 1-on-1 agenda from scratch.
Tip
What's next? After creating a 1-on-1 agenda, it's time to schedule your 1-on-1 meeting and add talking points to the agenda.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Only the participants themselves can create, schedule, and end 1-on-1 meetings. Admins or other individuals who are not directly involved in the 1-on-1 cannot manage these meetings for others.
If you don't see the option to create a 1-on-1 with someone, it may be because the "1-on-1s with anyone" setting, which allows people who aren't in a manager <> direct report relationship to create 1-on-1 agendas with each other, isn't enabled for your organization. Reach out to an Account admin for assistance.
