# 1:1 — [manager] + [IC]

Shared 1:1 workspace. Both of you read + write.

## Topics queue

Use the **Topics queue** surface. Either side adds. Columns: who added, topic, urgency, status.

Pull from the queue at the start of each 1:1.

## Action items

Use the **Action items** surface. Columns: owner, item, due, status.

Anything that comes out of the conversation lands here. The next 1:1 starts by reviewing this table.

## Conversation log

Latest at the top. Each entry: date, what we discussed, what we decided.

### [Date]

- Topic 1
- Topic 2

## Cadence

- Weekly or bi-weekly, 30 minutes.
- Pre-read 5 min before — Argus drafts it from the queue + open actions.
- Post-meeting: any new actions go straight to the table.
