Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A short update under 150 words: Done this week, Next week, Blocked or at risk, Need from you. 2. Put the most important thing first. 3. A one-line version for a chat message. 4. A list of anything in my notes that sounded like a problem my manager should hear about now. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, dates or results. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat.
