​Giving and asking for updates

Write your notes to update (yesterday, today, impediments)
→ give updates
→ listen to your friends update
→ ask for more updates

Reflect

• What went well?

• What was difficult about the discussion?

• Who gave the clearest update? what phrases did he/she use?

• What do you want to do better?

Any questions?

That's it!
