We’ve all been making steady progress, and I think it would be beneficial for the project scope. Any feedback for dates and thoughts? Best, Jake From: Lucy Zimmerman Sent: November 9, 2023, 08:10 AM To: Project Team Subject: Re: Project Deadline Discussion Hi Jake, I think this is a great idea! Perhaps we could also hold a focus meeting next week to ensure we address any critical areas. Always open to suggestions. I’m available most weekdays, so just let me know what fits the group. Thanks for this idea! Lucy From: Ahmed Khan Sent: November 9, 2023, 09:05 AM To: Project Team Subject: Re: Project Deadline Discussion Good morning everyone, A focus meeting sounds brilliant. I think a Monday morning would work well so we're all on the same page from the start. I can help coordinate any required materials — maybe we compile a checklist beforehand? Also, I’d be happy to help create an agenda template to keep track of our discussion. Looking forward to it!

Could we include some fun team-building activities during the meeting — discussions, puzzles, or creative challenges? Everyone would enjoy that! Let’s set a date soon so I can confirm with my supervisor about any needed resources. Excited to contribute! Sam
