Give an executive update for a high-risk project.

Question

Accepted Answer

I would be concise and decision-oriented. For example: The project remains strategically important, but delivery risk is high because two critical dependencies are late and budget usage is above plan. The recovery path is to reduce phase-one scope, add temporary testing support, and move the launch date by one week. I need executive approval today on scope reduction so the team can rebaseline the plan.
