Vais ouvir dois gestores de projeto a discutir a proposta de um deles numa chamada.

Depois de ouvires o áudio, se tiveres dificuldade em acompanhar, podes ler o texto como apoio.
My proposal is that we push the launch to next month. Two extra weeks of testing will save us a lot of headaches later.
I hear you, and I don't disagree with the reasoning, but where I push back is the timing. The client's already been told about this date twice.
I understand that, but a bad launch costs us more than an awkward phone call.
Fair enough. Can we find a middle ground — one extra week, not four?
I could live with one week if we're strict about what still needs testing.
Deal. I'll call the client this afternoon.
