π¬ In the monthly project review the project manager reports a two-week slip, the business side asks for one more feature, and they agree to cut the non-critical item and lock the go-live date.
Project manager
Here is the status: we are two weeks behind the original plan.
Business owner
What caused the slip?
Project manager
The ERP interface changed twice, and each change cost us about four days.
Business owner
Can we still make the end of the month if we add the export feature?
Project manager
Not both. That would be scope creep and the quality would suffer.
Business owner
Which one would you drop then?
Project manager
The export can move to the next release. The core flow is what the line needs.
Business owner
Agreed. Let us lock the go-live date and review the export later.

β 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 Business owner, 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.
