I am hoping you will attend the meeting and briefly describe the achievements in your area.

I will start the meeting by describing the overall project, the progress so far, and the expected outcomes. I will then describe your role in the project, introduce you, and ask for a brief overview and status report. The status report should only be a few minutes long and should focus on the general progress made, major achievements, and any important achievements still to come.

I will also be providing management and the client representatives with a written summary of the project status. I would appreciate it if you could provide me with a brief list of the achievements and progress you will note in the presentation.

The meeting will take place on Tuesday November 8th at 10 a.m., and is expected to last for one to two hours. I would appreciate it if you could email me your list of achievements and progress by Tuesday November 1. If you have any questions or queries, please contact me any time.

If I found that I was behind schedule, I would then take action to return to the schedule. Since the assignment is lasting over a semester, I would have scheduled it to do a small amount of assignment work each week. This means that there would be room to increase the assignment demands for a week without this resulting in any loss of quality in the assignment. For this reason, I would make up the week lost by completing the past week's work in the next week as well as work required for that week.
