In small projects, gather all team members; and in large ones, gather all team leaders, supplier project managers, management team members, and if required, other key stakeholders, to go through the following topics: 

* Review what you're going to do in the upcoming week.
* Review the risks they have in the upcoming week and the existing issues that may expand into the upcoming week, and record them in the **Follow-Up Register**. 
* Encourage the teams to limit their work in progress, and get the in-progress work done as soon as possible.

## Purpose 

The main purpose is to make sure that everyone is aligned and that there will be no conflicts between the work of teams and individuals. 


## Common pitfalls 

The following considerations can help you avoid some of the common pitfalls in this management activity: 

* Don't use this meeting for checking the performance (That's done in [C01](../../c/01/)). 
* Don't use this meeting to design responses for the identified issues and risks (That's done in [D01](../../d/01/)).
* Facilitate the meeting to ensure that it doesn't take too much time, and that sufficient time is spent on each topic.
