Transcript
Manager: OK, let's start. Ben, where are we with the new booking app? Are we still on track for the end of the month?
Developer: To be honest, I don't think we are. We've finished the main booking screen, but the payment system is taking much longer than we planned.
Manager: What's causing the delay?
Developer: The payment provider changed their security requirements two weeks ago, so we've had to rebuild part of the checkout. It's not something we could have predicted.
Manager: Fair enough. So realistically, how much more time do you need?
Developer: I'd say two weeks. Maybe ten days if we can get someone from the testing team to help us.
Manager: I can ask Maria whether she can spare someone. But the client has already announced the launch date, so moving it isn't really an option.
Developer: In that case, could we launch without the gift card feature? It's the least used part, and we could add it in an update a few weeks later.
Manager: That's not a bad idea. I'll need to run it past the client first, though. Can you put together a short summary of what would be ready on launch day?
Developer: Sure, I'll send it over this afternoon.
Manager: Great. Let's catch up again on Thursday.
