Get familiar with 15Five
First, 15Five recommends reading up on the product to familiarize yourself with their offerings and administrative capabilities.
Plan your launch
There are two different approaches to launching. The phased approach breaks implementation down in waves. It can be broken down either by hierarchy, departments, or geography. The phased approach favors organizations new to performance management software.
The "Big Bang" approach means that all employees start using it at once. Customers with performance management experience tend to choose the Big Bang approach. It may also be easier for small teams.
15Five also offers a blended approach. Once you choose which approach, you can move onto the third step.
The tactical
Here is where companies configure the basics, set up integrations, communicate that the launch is coming, and invite everyone to start using it.
