What’s a good example of a 1:1 document to help your manager keep track of your accomplishments?

Hi Taro folks,

I’d like to create a doc to track my deliverables across engineering axes to make my work easier to see for my manager. This should also help with arguing for promotions down the road… does anyone have a good format for such a doc? FYI: engineering axes include project impact, people, direction, engineering excellence, etc.

    Here's what I did:

    • Have one doc as the "brag document" -- your accomplishments or achievements you contributed to. This is more evergreen, something you can revisit with your manager as the half progresses. I'd break this down into the 4 engineering axes for Meta.
    • Have another running doc to track talking points and agenda items for your regular 1:1s. The format I did for this: (1) top of mind for the report, (2) top of mind for the manager, (3) discussion topics, (4) action items

    As mentioned in the original post, the 4 engineering axes for Meta SWEs are as follows:

    1. Engineering Excellence
    2. Impact
    3. Direction
    4. People
