Make it concrete
- What is the action verb?
- What object or result is expected?
- What context explains why this matters?
Template
1:1 action items template for manager follow-through
Action items only work when they stay connected to why they were created. Capture the owner, source, timing, and the reason it should come back.
Copyable template
Use this manually, or let EvalSuite capture it automatically from real meetings.
Assign ownership
- Who is the owner?
- Who needs visibility?
- Does this belong in Jira, Linear, or only EvalSuite?
Carry it forward
- When should this return?
- What status should it have now?
- What note should future-you see?
How to use this template
Use the prompts to make the next manager action explicit. The goal is not a perfect document; it is a short record that helps the next conversation start with context.
Keep it tied to the real manager loop
EvalSuite links action items to meetings, teammate context, notes, projects, goals, and connected work trackers where enabled, so follow-through does not become a separate forgotten list.
What should survive
Keep the owner, status, due date or revisit timing, source meeting, and context. Do not turn vague discussion topics into action items without a concrete next step.
Workflow example
A manager turns a coaching discussion into one action item, links it to the teammate, and keeps it open until the commitment is completed or intentionally changed.
Example output
The visible output should be concrete enough to inspect.
- Concrete action item title
- Owner and due date
- Source meeting link
- Carry-forward status for the next conversation
