Well as an Event Operations Manager, routine doesn't exist. I'm constantly juggling 3-4 event timelines to move forward with all of the A/V teams, venue managers, catering teams, and my own crew. I love 15Five because, in the middle of all those things that go on it manages to keep the team grounded. Gregory would rather not have to involve the rest of the company in a long, grueling status meeting, so the weekly check-ins give me a clear sense of where the team is. I can follow-up on tasks easily view users who are actively managing vendor contracts and users who are handling on ground logistics. Just prior to a big event things happen minute by minute from changing schedules to updating the list of VIPs to last minute operational requests. 15Five provides me with a clear and realistic view of the workload of my team and its overall morale. I can easily identify when something my logistics coordinator is getting overwhelmed on or if a remote employee is waiting for approval. It just keeps comms organized makes important deadlines obvious to all, and helps to hold the entire team responsible without making them feel “micromanaged.”

I really appreciate how 15Five provides a consistent, lightweight framework for sharing updates and tracking our progress toward quarterly goals. It keeps the communication loop open and moving without the process feeling heavy or time-consuming. It’s also been a great way to maintain visibility into what the rest of the team is working on, without having to schedule constant sync meetings that would otherwise interrupt our actual work.

I like that 15Five is relatively simple to get used to, and that everything is in one place. Each week, you can rate how you feel, add more info if you want, rate your team, and include what you’ll be doing next week. At the same time, you’re not locked into a rigid format; it’s flexible. You can make adjustments as things change, and overall the whole process stays straightforward and adaptable. The interface is also easy to navigate.
