Phone Call

Good morning, this is Tom Richards from the project management department.

Hi Tom, this is Alex Chen. I'm the new software engineer on the Horizon project.

Oh, Alex! I've been expecting your call. How are you settling into the new city?

Thanks for asking! It's been quite an adjustment, but I'm really enjoying it so far.

That's great to hear. So, I wanted to discuss the upcoming sprint deadlines with you.

Absolutely. I actually tried calling you yesterday afternoon, but I got your voicemail.

Yes, I was in back-to-back meetings all day. Did you leave a message?

I did leave a voicemail, but I wasn't sure you had received it yet.

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Let me pull up the project timeline now.

No problem at all. Could you hold for just a moment while I open my laptop?

Of course, take your time. I'll be right here.

Okay, I'm back. I've got the sprint document open in front of me now.

Perfect. So the client has requested that we move the deadline forward by one week.

That's going to be tight. Have the requirements already been finalized by the design team?

Not entirely. I need to transfer you to Sarah in design after we finish here.

That sounds like a good plan. Should I request a callback from her if she's unavailable?

Yes, if she doesn't answer, just leave a message and ask for a callback by tomorrow morning.

Got it. I really appreciate you taking the time to walk me through all of this.

That's what I'm here for. Welcome to the team, Alex, and don't hesitate to reach out.
