اللغة الإنجليزية للأعمال, اللغة الإنجليزية للاجتماعات, ادارة مشروع / سبتمبر 30, 2017

Welcome back to Business English Pod for today’s lesson on conducting a scrum stand-up الاجتماع باللغة الإنجليزية.

Not everyone likes meetings, and for good reason. Many meetings are poorly organized and poorly run. But meetings are a necessary part of work and business, especially in ادارة مشروع. لهذا السبب, it’s important that we find ways to have good meetings.

If you’ve worked in software development, especially agile environments, you’ll know about one excellent kind of meeting called a scrum or stand-up meeting. Scrum is an approach to software development that uses cross-functional teams. Each day, the team has a short stand-up meeting where people update others on progress, plans, and challenges.

Whether or not you work in software development, leading a scrum style meeting is a useful experience. You’ll have to do many things that apply to all good meetings. فمثلا, you’ll need to open the meeting and ask for updates. You may also find the chance to suggest collaboration between team members. And the person running the meeting is also responsible for putting aside, or sidebarring, issues that can be discussed after the meeting. These are all techniques that can help you in any kind of meeting, whether you work with scrum or not.

في حوار اليوم, سنسمع جيل, a project manager and scrum master, leading a daily scrum meeting. We’ll also hear two team members, Katherine and Sam. Sam will be first to provide his updates. و, as you’ll hear, Jill will help keep the team focused.

أسئلة الاستماع

1. When she opens the meeting, what does Jill suggest they do to stay focused?
2. When Sam says what he is going to do today, what does Jill suggest?
3. What issue does Jill want to “sidebar,” or leave for after the meeting?

Anyone who’s been involved with projects should know just how important it is to have good communication with a client.

When you educate a client about your development process, you might find yourself using too much technical language. But if you want the client to really understand, you might have to rephrase that information in simpler terms. بالتاكيد, you don’t want to focus too much on potential problems. And for that reason you should know how to redirect a discussion away from problems and toward other issues. فمثلا, you might need to ask the client for important information to get the project started.

في حوار اليوم, we’ll rejoin Martin and Jill. Their company, OptiTech, is starting a new project to develop software for a logistics company.

أفضل الممارسات البيئية 303 – رحلة عمل 6: مناقشة التغيير الاستراتيجي

اللغة الإنجليزية للأعمال, اللغة الإنجليزية للاجتماعات, اللغة الإنجليزية الإدارية / أبريل 8, 2017

مرحبًا بك مرة أخرى في اللغة الإنجليزية للأعمال for today’s lesson on discussing strategic change.

The world of business and the economy are constantly changing. And businesses need to respond with their own changes, or risk getting left behind. But change can be difficult both for people and for organizations. As a leader of people in a changing organization, you might face resistance. So you need to be able to manage change well. And that often involves effective discussions with others in the company about strategic change.

بالتاكيد, change is easier when the general feeling in a company is positive. And that’s why you might need to gauge morale when you’re talking with others. That will help you figure out how to manage the change. But managing change doesn’t mean promising that it will be easy. في حين أن, you should carefully warn others about possible difficulties.

Another thing you should do is to be clear about messaging. Change is a lot easier if everyone has the same idea about what’s happening and why. It’s also a lot easier if you can show the benefits of the changes. And that’s why you should talk about change as an opportunity that can help the company, and its people. If you can successfully show people that change is an opportunity, then you should get a positive response when you ask people whether they’re committed to the changes at hand.

في حوار اليوم, we’ll hear Cam and David, who work for an American clothing company called Boston Vintage. David is the manager of the company’s Shanghai office. Cam is a production manager who is visiting China to meet with the company’s staff and look at new production facilities. In an earlier conversation, Cam told David that the company has made the strategic decision to focus on Southeast Asia rather than China.

أسئلة الاستماع

1. How does Cam gauge morale, or ask about the overall feeling among staff?
2. What is the basic explanation for the change that Cam wants David to communicate?
3. According to Cam, why is this change an opportunity for David?
