When creating or editing an objective, you can assign individual key results to people other than the objective owner. The assigned person becomes accountable for that key result and receives it on their 15Five to update.
Before You Begin
- You must have access to Objectives.
- You must be creating or editing an objective you own, or have editing access to.
- The objective must have at least one key result added.
Steps
- Navigate to Objectives in the main navigation.
- Open an existing objective or click Add Objective to create a new one.
- Scroll to the Key Results section.
- Click an existing key result or click Add Key Result to create one.
- Locate the Owner field within the key result.
- Click the Owner field to open the person selector.
- Search for and select the person you want to assign.
- Click Save on the key result.
- Repeat steps 4–8 for each key result you want to assign to someone else.
- Click Save on the objective.
If Something Goes Wrong
| Issue | Check | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Owner field does not appear on the key result | Confirm the key result is fully expanded, not collapsed | Click the key result to expand it and reveal all fields |
| A person does not appear in the search results | Confirm the person has an active 15Five account | Ask your account admin to verify the person's account status |
| Assigned person does not see the key result on their 15Five | Confirm the objective's check-in setting includes key result updates | Ask your account admin to review the objective's visibility and check-in settings |
