Chapter 2. Regularly Scheduled Status Updates
The first meeting I want to talk about is probably the one we attend the most. It's the regularly scheduled meeting to exchange information. This meeting might be held daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually. It could be conducted via phone call or in-person.
