How RetailNext's Engineering Manager Keeps Every 1:1 Organised Without the Manual Work

Igor Topolski manages a distributed engineering team and takes a hands-on approach to his 1:1s — preparing carefully for each one, both with his direct reports and with his own manager. Before Windmill, staying on top of what everyone had been working on meant doing that research himself, session after session.

Now, Windmill surfaces a summary of each team member’s recent efforts automatically, and smart suggestions help ensure no important topics get dropped between meetings.

"It helps me keep my 1:1s organised — I can easily track all of them in one place with smart suggestions that help keep the conversation going. It also nicely summarises my team member's efforts so I can easily see what they're up to without needing to manually do research."

Everything lives in one place — so Igor walks into every conversation already across the context, and can spend the time on what actually matters.
