Question

Write 2 emails for this scenario - You are the Lead Developer on an in-house team (four people) developing a mobile game application intended to help market the company's products. The project manager sent out an email indicating that the completion date has to be moved up a week, per the CEO's request. You know that this means your team will need to work extra to get the application finished in time. Send two emails - first, email the team and let them know that the deadline has been pushed up. Second, email the project manager, letting them know that you received their email, and give a project status report. In your email to your team, will you simply state the facts? Rally the team? Offer to buy pizza and sodas for the team in exchange for an all-nighter? When you email the project manager will you include a complaint? Will you request more time? Or will you just affirm that the project will be completed early, as requested?

4. Write 1 email to your Manager - You have four projects assigned to you. You had a meeting with your manager really early yesterday, and you kind of forgot which of the projects was the priority project. Write one email asking your manager for clarification.

Answer 1

Below is the - first, email the team and let them know that the deadline has been pushed up

Subject Line : Project deadline elevated a week.

For your information, I have been communicated by our manager that our project deadline has been elevated a week as per our CEO's request.

2) Second mail writing to the Manager stating him the project status and telling him that we will complete the task but we need few support from him as well if we are putting nights to complete the task as per the request.

Subject line : <Project Name> status

Hi <Manager Name>,

As discussed with the team, its difficult to complete the work in that period of time as per the following status report:

Task in-progress:

• <task1_Name>: <description of the task> .
• <task2_Name>: <description of the task> .
• <task3_Name>: <description of the task> .

Task pending:

• <task1_Name>: <description of the task> .
• <task2_Name>: <description of the task> .

but we can achieve the goal on time if our team put some extra efforts by working late till night.

Following are the things, which will be required by the team in order to motivate them to work for extra hour:

• Dinner.
• Transport facility for women safety.
• Internet Connection.

Please do the needful for the team efforts.
