Ask how the team communicates progress and how often you should expect an update. The useful information includes completed work, upcoming activity and decisions needed from you.
What to discuss
Understand where questions and approvals should be recorded. A consistent process helps everyone find the current decision instead of searching several message threads.
Make the next step clear
When an item is unresolved, ask who owns it and when it is expected to be discussed next. Clear communication supports coordination without promising that every schedule will be unchanged.
Your conversation checklist
- Agree on the communication channel and responsible contact.
- Ask what decisions are needed from you next.
- Keep a record of approvals and open questions.
