About this tool
A one-on-one is smaller and more personal than a team meeting, and the agenda should reflect that: a check-in, a look at current work and blockers, and space for career or growth conversation, without feeling like a status report. This tool builds that lightweight agenda from whatever context you provide about the relationship or current priorities, whether it's a first one-on-one with a new report or a regular recurring check-in. It's distinct from the recurring meeting agenda generator, which is built for larger team syncs rather than one-to-one conversations.
Frequently asked questions
Is this from the manager's or the report's perspective?+
It's framed from the manager's side by default as discussion prompts, but the structure works equally well if a direct report wants to prepare their own talking points.
Will it always include a growth or career section?+
It includes one when relevant context is provided, like career interest mentioned in your input. For a purely tactical check-in, that section can simply be skipped.
Can I use this for a first-ever one-on-one with a new hire?+
Yes, mention that it's a first meeting in your context and the tool will lean more toward introductions and expectation-setting than progress review.
