+
+### September - VP Project Portfolio Review
+
+CTO informed me that VP wants a review of the team's projects in September.
+
+**Expected:**
+- Projects currently being worked on
+- Current status / progress
+- Team members present
+- Team participation in presenting/discussing their work
+
+**Implication**
+
+Monday needs to accurately reflect the project portfolio before this meeting.
+
+Project owners need to be comfortable explaining:
+- What are we trying to accomplish?
+- Where are we?
+- What is the next commitment?
+- When will it be delivered?
+- What is blocking us?
+
+
+**Next steps**
+- Clean up project portfolio in Monday.
+- Establish regular project-owner updates.
+- Determine September presentation format.
+- Prepare team before VP review.
