Hi everyone,
Here's a quick recap of this morning's meeting.
First, the budget. Finance told us the new software is "under review". In other , we might not get it this year. I know that's disappointing.
Second, the website project. The client wants to "streamline the user journey". Put , they want fewer pages and fewer clicks.
Third, staffing. Management said the team is "at full capacity". To put it another , we can't take on any new projects right now. They will look at hiring in Q1, that , between January and March.
Finally, I mentioned that our reports are "not optimised". What I is, they take too long to read. Let's try to keep them to one page.
All in , it was a positive meeting. There are a few problems, but on the , the project is moving in the right direction.
Best wishes,
Alex
