I'm new to this weekly syncup thing with my manager and he already knows the things I work on through daily standups, the issues I've faced or things that have gone great through retros after every sprint.

This gives me little to talk about with my manager except personal goals sometimes, a bit about our lives in general, etc. I was wondering what you guys discuss and how do you make best use of this meeting?

  1. Discuss our 1:1 sheet that I use as a brag document.
  2. Discuss general issues that I noticed on our team or the project.
  3. Discuss my improvement ideas for the project/team. Probably rounded up in #2.
  4. Ask for some direct feedbacks. He helped me set up goals for promotional. So, we can see if I'm detracted from the path or moving closer to the goal.
