The 3-Minute Update

In almost every job, you’ll be asked to give quick updates on what you’re working on. This could be in a team meeting, a check-in with your boss, or even a conversation with a customer. Being able to share clear, concise, and relevant information is a key skill that makes you look professional and organized.

Your Scenario:
You’re part of a project team at a company, and your manager asks you, “How’s your part of the project going?” You only have three minutes to respond.

Your Task:
1. Pick a Project: This could be a real school assignment, a club event you’re planning, or a made-up work scenario (like planning a new product launch).
2. Prepare Your Update: Include:

• What you’ve done so far

• What you’re working on now

• What’s coming next or any help you need

3. Practice Delivering: Share your update with a partner or small group. Keep it under three minutes and make sure it’s easy to follow.
