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?

    Just chat, if nothing else. We’ll also discuss larger company things, upcoming projects, any big “news” that might be relevant.
    We’ll make sure that we talk about professional development stuff occasionally, and that he’s doing what he can to support my career aspirations, and that I understand what his expectations of me are and how they’re changing.

    The bigger topics aren’t every time. It’s often pretty skewed towards chat since we get along well.
