R&D Manager: Let's get started. Let's go over today's agenda. The main purpose of this meeting is to discuss the new product development and review the current status of the project.
Research Lead: I agree. Let's start with a quick update on our research activities. We've made progress, but we still need to resolve a few technical questions.
R&D Manager: I'd like to focus on our main priorities today. Before we begin, does anyone have anything to add to the agenda?
Product Engineer: Yes. I think we should also discuss the resources we need for the next research phase.
