БЭП 39с – Английский для управления проектами: Отчет о прогрессе
Добро пожаловать обратно в Деловой английский Pod for today’s lesson on reporting on the progress of a project.
Управление проектом isn’t just for people who consider themselves a “project manager.” No matter what kind of work you do, you’ll likely have to lead or participate in some kind of project. And if you are a project manager, then today’s lesson is particularly important.
Reporting on progress can happen in various settings, ranging from formal meetings with stakeholders to more casual interactions, like a quick chat at the water cooler or over a coffee. While the tone and format may differ, the core principles remain the same. Effective communication in these moments is crucial to keep everyone aligned and ensure no details slip through the cracks.
Например, you’ll likely want to ask for an update and confirm key details. You’ll also have to identify follow-up actions, assign responsibility, and establish clear deadlines. в конечном счете, strong reporting and follow-up skills are essential to fostering accountability and driving projects to successful completion.
В этом уроке, we’ll hear a project manager named Rudi giving updates to his boss, Вольфганг. They work for a company that maintains and modifies jetways, the bridges that connect airplanes to the airport gates. They’ve been working on a project to modify jetways at an airport for a large type of plane called an A380.
