How to add a personal win or challenge 🧑💻
Once you've filled out and submitted a Check-in, you can add items from it as wins or challenges.
- Click Check-ins in 15Five's main, left-hand navigation.
- Click View Check-in to the right of the Check-in you want to open.
- Click ... to the right of the answer you want to add as a win or a challenge and select "Add to wins & challenges" from the dropdown menu.
- Once an answer is added to wins & challenges, it will appear in the Check-in with a banner that says, "[Your name] flagged for wins & challenges."
- Now head on over to view the 'Wins & challenges' section of your profile. Here, you'll see the answer you just added.
Note
Only you can see these wins & challenges— not your manager, account admins, or anyone else.
- The item will appear in the "Unsorted" section to begin with, but you can drag and drop the item into the correct category by hovering over the answer and using the six-dot icon to it's left.
- Last but not least, click Add a new note to provide context as to why you added the item to Wins & challenges, so you have something to refer back to when it comes time for a review cycle or 1-on-1 meeting.
