How It Helps Your Business English
The lesson is built around giving a status update in an Agile project meeting and is marked B2. It runs in sections: a summary, the vocabulary of stand-ups and bottlenecks with expressions such as to get bogged down and to be on the same page, the passive voice for reporting progress, practical phrases for a daily stand-up, a discussion task and a reading.
You can read the summary first to see what the lesson covers, then take the sections in order, since the vocabulary and the grammar both feed the practical phrases at the end. The phrases are written as openings you can say word for word in your own stand-up, and the grammar section shows you how to report what was done without naming who did it. The discussion and the reading give you somewhere to use both.
