For what it's worth, I've asked the members of my team if they'd like scheduled one-on-ones or not. And that either way they should feel free to grab my time/attention any time they should need it. Personally, I'd prefer if people just reached out when they needed it (and hopefully then ideas would stay fresh) instead of waiting for 1:1s. Turns out different people like different things. I ended up doing scheduled 1:1s across the board every other week. In practice it ended up being something like a "minimum threshold" for how frequently we had 1:1s. If we'd been working on something closely we could skip them if they'd want to. Disclaimer: I wasn't the manager, just the most senior engineer on that team.
