Dialogue:

Michael: (Looking at the project plan on the whiteboard) Alright, Susan, I wanted to discuss the project direction today.

Susan: Of course. Are there any concerns?

Michael: Not necessarily concerns, but there are a few things I wanted to check in on.

Michael: First, schedule-wise, do you feel we're on track?

Susan: Yes, so far we're on schedule. However, there are a couple of potential hurdles.

Michael: What kind of hurdles?

Susan: One is that Feature A development is running a bit behind.

Michael: I see. Feature A is critical, so any ideas on mitigation?

Susan: We're considering adding team members to accelerate development.

Michael: Understood. If needed, we can pull resources from other teams to assist.

Susan: Thank you, that's good to know.

Michael: Now, the other potential hurdle is client request changes.

Susan: Yes, we've been receiving frequent client request changes.

Michael: Right, and that can definitely impact the schedule.

Michael: Moving forward, let's prioritize close communication with the client to minimize unnecessary changes.

Susan: Absolutely, I'll make sure of that.

Michael: Are there any other issues you see?

Susan: No, not at this time.

Michael: Great. So, summarizing our discussion:

• Accelerate Feature A development

• Maintain close communication with the client to minimize request changes

Susan: You've got it.

Michael: Let's continue working together to ensure project success.

Susan: Absolutely, I'm committed to it.

Michael: Alright, with that, let's wrap up the meeting.

Susan: Sounds good. Thank you.
