I tend to avoid focusing on status updates on my WIP. In my 1:1s, I want to talk about me.
1. What do I need to do to get my next promotion/payrise, or how do I get onto the next bit of interesting work? Even if I'm happy with my current work and compensation, I use this as an opportunity to constantly make clear what my personal objectives are.
2. How well am I tracking against Q1?
3. How do you suggest I improve on Q2? If I have things I know are pushing down on Q2, I will ask for help.
In addition, I tend to use them for managing upwards - setting expectations, and making clear where I need something from my manager.
