Partner 1
The Java wing is working hard to realise the software. Three engineers are now assigned to the project.
The testers are working to prepare the test scripts. Henk asked Marie whether he had sent this to Floor. Kees reported that the plans for detail testing are not deliverables. The test scripts are, however, if the partner wishes insight into the plans in question. This is obviously always possible.Partner 2
Floor reported that she is now working on a new name for the product. Henk will go ahead and prepare a change proposal that will explain the impact of this change on the project. The estimate for licenses has now been received from the supplier.
Floor remarked that she would like to submit another report to the financer in early October. We agreed to submit the report to the partner five working days after the end of September.Participants in the previous period

In his role as project leader, Klaas had consulted with management. Management would like the project to be completed within one month, or two at the most. Klaas reported that he did not consider this feasible, but that the team would do its best to make it (the impossible) possible. - Question round
Marie remarked that the meeting had already lasted for two hours, even though the goal had been to limit it to forty-five minutes. She asked everyone to try to keep the meetings short.Henk states that he will be unable to attend the next meeting.
