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?

EM perspective: your 1:1 meetings are your time to ask questions, express concerns, advocate for yourself (e.g., for career advancement or project placement), and generally have a line to what is happening with the org and upper management.

They aren’t a place for me to micromanage my reports, they’re how I figure out to to best serve the people I lead, especially when my responsibilities keep me out of the day to day work.
