Business English Listening Comprehension – Project Management Dialogue

talkpal logo

Good morning, I wanted to touch base with you on the progress of our latest project. We’re making steady progress, with the team having completed about 60% of the tasks on the project plan, and we’re on track to meet our deadline in two weeks. However, there are a few issues I’d like to discuss with you.

First, we’re experiencing some delays with one of our suppliers, who are having trouble meeting their delivery deadlines, which could impact our project timeline. I’ve already spoken with them, and they’ve assured me that they’ll expedite our order, but I thought it was important to keep you informed. If it becomes a bigger issue, we may need to consider finding an alternative supplier.

Second, one of our team members has been struggling with their workload since they’ve been assigned to multiple projects, and as a result, their performance on our project has been suffering. I’ve spoken with them and offered additional support, but I think it might be best to re-evaluate their project assignments to ensure they’re able to focus on the most critical tasks. I’ll speak with their supervisor and see if we can adjust their workload.

The client recently requested that we add a new feature to the project. I’ve reviewed the request, and while it’s technically feasible, it will require additional resources and potentially push back our deadline. Let’s schedule a meeting with the client to discuss the request and the potential impact on the project timeline. We can then decide if it’s something we can accommodate or if we need to negotiate a revised deadline.

In the meantime, is there anything else you’d like me to focus on or address? Just make sure to keep me updated on any further developments and let me know if you need my assistance with anything. Of course, I’ll make sure to keep you in the loop.

I wanted to mention that I’ll be out of the office next week for a conference. I’ve made arrangements with the team to ensure that everything runs smoothly in my absence, but I wanted to let you know in case you have any concerns. Have a great time at the conference, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything.

Thank you for your support. I’ll touch base with you again before I leave for the conference to provide another update on the project. Have a great day and keep up the good work.
