What happens next? 🐾
After you end the 1-on-1 meeting, take the following steps:
Ending a 1-on-1 allows you to schedule a new 1-on-1 with the person and begin crafting a new agenda. The following rules apply to the new agenda:
- Completed talking points will not carry over. However, incomplete talking points will automatically transfer to the next 1-on-1 agenda, including any comments or attachments from the previous session.
- Completed action items will be removed from the new agenda, while incomplete action items will appear under the 'Previous Action Items' section of the next 1-on-1, along with any comments and attachments.
- Notes from the previous session will not carry over to the new agenda.
Note
If the 1-on-1 meeting was with your manager or a direct report, a new agenda will be automatically generated for you. However, if the meeting was with someone other than your manager or direct report, you will need to manually schedule a new 1-on-1 meeting to create an agenda.
Remember to tackle any action items you were assigned during the meeting and mark them as complete. If needed, you can schedule a new 1-on-1 with the person to foster a continuous working relationship.

If, during the process of scheduling your 1-on-1, you set it to repeat and selected the "End Automatically," you won't see the option to manually end the meeting. Your meeting will automatically end at 11:59 PM on the day it was scheduled for.
Shared notes can be edited at any time, even after the 1-on-1 meeting has ended.
No, once a 1-on-1 meeting is ended, it cannot be reopened. If you need to reopen an ended 1-on-1, please contact 15Five's Support Team for assistance.
