Standup: progress update and a blocker

Project manager Β· Developer
0/8

🎬 Monday standup at 8:30. The project manager asks for updates, the developer reports yesterday and today, raises a missing test data blocker, and they agree on the owner and next step.

Project manager
Good morning. Let us start with the MES team. Any updates?
Developer
Yesterday I finished the work order module and fixed two bugs in the report page.
Today I will work on the OEE dashboard and the shift handover report.
Project manager
Is the OEE dashboard still on schedule?
Developer
It is about 70% done, but I have one blocker: the test data is missing.
Project manager
Who can help with that?
Developer
I need read access to the MES database. Could you ask IT to grant it today?
Project manager
Noted. I will ask IT before ten, and you update the ticket.

❓ FAQ

How should I practise this dialogue?

Play it once with continuous mode to get the rhythm, then switch to role play and take Project manager or Developer, and finally compare with the standard lines.

What are the small notes under some lines for?

They explain why the line is phrased that way: tense, fixed collocations or tone. That is more useful than memorising the sentence alone.

Can I listen without reading?

Use continuous play: the current line is highlighted and scrolled into view, so you can follow the conversation hands-free.
