DuogendaDuogenda is a shared home for the 1:1 between a manager and a direct report. The agenda, the action items, the private notes, and the meeting schedule live in one place both people trust.
Why Duogenda
Most meeting tools grow until the 1:1 becomes a tab somewhere inside them. Duogenda goes the other way and does one meeting well.
Every manager-report pair gets its own agenda, action items, and notes. What you discuss with one person never blurs into what you discuss with another.
A license covers the manager. Direct reports take part fully at no cost, so inviting one more person is never a budget conversation.
Both people can keep prep notes only they can see, right next to the shared agenda. Honest preparation makes for honest conversations.
In the product
How preparation, the conversation itself, and follow-through fit together inside Duogenda.
Each duo gets its own card: the shared agenda, the open action items, the next meeting. Three direct reports means three separate spaces, each with its own history.
Agenda topics turn into action items with owners, and last week's loose ends are already waiting when the next meeting starts. Neither person has to reconstruct the thread from memory.
The dashboard gathers open action items and upcoming meetings from all your duos in one view. On the paid plan, Google Calendar integration keeps your recurring 1:1 events and the agenda in step.
You buy a license for each manager who runs 1:1s, and that license covers the duos they manage. Three direct reports or eight, the price stays the same.
Manager-first pricing
Managers carry the 1:1 practice, so the license follows the manager. Start free with one manager and up to three active duos. When the habit sticks, paid plans cover more duos, more managers, and Google Calendar integration.
Free to start. Paid plans begin at $10 per manager / month.
From the blog
Management frameworks, 1:1 templates, and honest looks at the tools we get compared to.
94% of managers believe they are holding effective 1:1s. Only 10% of their direct reports agree. This post explores both sides of that gap and what it costs both people.
When restructures, attrition, and constant change drain motivation, the right 1:1 conversations can restore clarity, agency, and a sense that the work still means something.
A practical 1:1 meeting agenda template for managers who want a steadier conversation, better listening, and cleaner follow-through.
