Checking a task

Colleague: When is the deadline for the project?

You: The report is due on Friday.

Colleague: Let’s discuss our progress at the meeting.

Notice the difference

A task is a piece of work; a project often contains several tasks. A deadline is the latest time for completing something. When a date might be unclear, include the day, date and relevant time zone.

Make the words useful

Write a message to a colleague with one task, one deadline and one question. Keep the request specific and polite.
