1x1

Smallest matrix possible

A 1x1 (pronounced "one-by-one" or "one-on-one") is a scheduled private meeting between two people, typically a manager and a direct report: We have our weekly 1x1 tomorrow.

The format emphasizes individual attention—discussing progress, concerns, or feedback without the dynamics of group meetings.

Also written as 1:1.
