Decisions |
[What came up that needed to be addressed? Did you run into a problem or roadblock? How did you solve it? What important decisions did you make this week that impacted your project? What were the key tasks you performed this week? Do not state that there were no key decisions this week.] Received FileMaker
Pro (FMP) on schedule. Based upon the rapid development this product has
produced, we are a little ahead of schedule. Decision at the meeting was to keep
pushing forward since we have not encounter any problems at this time.
Project seems to be going well. The dev team raves about FMP. |
