A step-by-step guide to using ManagerForge to transform your management workflow
Five simple steps to better 1:1s and effortless reviews
Start by adding the people you manage. Just their name and email—we'll help you set up their first 1:1.
After each 1:1, capture what was discussed. Type notes, paste from your notepad, or upload audio recordings.
ManagerForge analyzes your notes to identify action items, sentiment trends, goals discussed, and coaching opportunities.
See how your team members are growing. Track action items, monitor sentiment, and identify patterns across weeks and months.
When review time comes, generate a comprehensive draft in seconds. Edit and customize to match your voice and style.
Everything you need to manage effectively, all in one place
Upload recordings of your 1:1s and get accurate transcripts in minutes. Great for remote meetings or walk-and-talks.
Format your notes with headings, lists, and highlights. Everything is searchable later.
Set development goals with your team and track progress automatically as you log 1:1s.
Download all your data in PDF, CSV, or JSON format. Your data, your way.
See how it all comes together over time
Log your first conversation. AI identifies 3 action items and 2 development goals Sarah mentioned.
Each week, you log your 1:1. ManagerForge tracks action item completion, spots a pattern (Sarah mentions autonomy 3 times), and suggests coaching approaches.
Use the timeline view to review progress on Sarah's Q1 goals. Share the summary in your 1:1 to align on priorities.
Click 'Generate Review'. ManagerForge drafts a comprehensive review with specific examples from 13 weeks of conversations. You edit, add your insights, and share.
Your 1:1 focuses on growth, not remembering what happened. Sarah feels heard because you referenced specific moments from your conversations.
