Bulk import objectives

Whether you're scaling up or streamlining processes, the ability to bulk import objectives and key results can save admins hours of manual entry work.

    Tip

    Even if you have OKRs in a separate spreadsheet already, we suggest downloading the template and adding your existing data to the template. This minimizes the leg work of adjusting your existing CSV to match our required format.

  7. Fill out your bulk import CSV and save it as a UTF-8 file. Refer to the "Prepare your CSV" section of the OKR creation page to see how columns should be formatted and which columns are optional and required.
  8. Click Create new import, then select your saved CSV file. The import will begin automatically.

FAQs

Can I add a past objective to 15Five?
No. It is not possible to add past objectives into 15Five, as you cannot create an objective in 15Five whose end date is in the past.
