Scenario Background: Hanna and Thomas are discussing progress on a software update for a client in Vienna.
Hanna: Hi Thomas. How’s the team doing with the new software release?
Thomas: We’re moving forward, but we had a small delay yesterday. I need to carry out a few more tests before we send the files.
Hanna: I see. How’re you planning to deal with the tight deadline?
Thomas: We’ll work a bit extra today to catch up. I also asked Sofia to look into a system bug that appeared this morning.
Hanna: Great. Once she helps us sort out the code error, we can finalise the package.
Thomas: Exactly. We just need to keep on testing until everything works smoothly.
Hanna: Sounds like a solid plan. Let me know if you need extra support.
