Have there been any developments that may impact the scope or schedule?

Do we need any additional information from the client, stakeholders,sponsor?
- Increasing concern about too little emphasis on Windows in the
discussion needs to be clarified. This should not delay the
completion of the project.
Issues/Key Learnings
-It is more obvious that increasing customer access to IS Server
services has to be preceded by good preparation so that teams are
well equipped to manage the new service effectively.
Team Dynamics
Good.
