🇺🇸 English for Brazilians · Advanced Level 3

PART 3 · LESSON 28 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

What I learned about working together

In the last meeting, Ruth leads a retrospective, and Ana and Sam learn how to say what enabled them to finish, what they would do differently, and what they would keep. Say last meeting what enabled us to finish on time, two criteria written down in week one, and a list for everything else, one thing we'd do differently, we'd write the scope down before the napkin not after, and name the files properly from day one, what surprised you, that the hardest message was four words long, and what would you keep, asking where people get stuck before deciding anything.
