How to play
- Pick which categories you want in this session's deck: Career, Feedback, Wellbeing, and/or Priorities.
- Optionally type your own agenda item and tap Add — it joins the shuffled deck alongside the category prompts.
- Tap Shuffle Talking Points to randomize the order, then work through the deck, tapping Covered on anything you discuss.
- When the 1:1 wraps, tap Print Agenda or Copy List to save the Discussed list as a record of what was actually talked through.
1:1 Talking Points Shuffler fills the blank-agenda problem before a manager check-in by shuffling a deck of proven prompts across four categories: Career, Feedback, Wellbeing, and Priorities, with 15 or more prompts in each. Filter down to just the categories you need this week, mix in your own agenda items alongside the shuffled prompts, and tap Covered on anything you actually talk through — covered items grey out and drop into a running Discussed list so you always know what's left. When the conversation wraps, print the discussed list as a clean record of the meeting or copy it straight into your notes app. Shuffle again next time for a fresh mix instead of working down the same static list every 1:1.
Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from Planning Poker?
- Planning Poker is a full estimation card-flow game for scoring work in a sprint planning session. This tool has nothing to do with estimation — it's a shuffled deck of 1:1 conversation prompts across career, feedback, wellbeing, and priorities, meant for manager-employee check-ins, with covered/skip tracking and a printable discussed list.
- What happens to prompts I mark covered?
- A covered prompt stays visible but greys out and gets a strikethrough in the active deck, and it's added to the Discussed list below in the order you covered it. Tap Undo on a covered card to remove it from Discussed and re-activate it if you want to revisit it.
- Can I reuse this for every 1:1 without repeating the same questions?
- Yes — tap Shuffle Talking Points at the start of each session to get a new random order, and use the category filters to rotate emphasis week to week, for example leaning on Wellbeing after a heavy sprint and Career during a planning cycle.
