You have recently missed a project deadline which resulted in your company losing an important client. Write a letter to your manager. In your letter: oapologize for what happened oexplain why you missed the deadline otell him/her how you will avoid this situation in future.
Dear Mr. Warner,
I am writing in regard to the loss of a client
due to
the missed target date from our team. We failed to incorporate last
-minute changes within the given timeframe for the Vanguard Limited.
First of all, I would like to apologise for this
major loss to the company, and as a team lead, I am taking responsibility for this
failure. However
, the above incident provided a good lesson for the team about how to tackle critical situations.
To be more specific, we were asked by the client to change some functionality of the code during an acceptance testing phase last
month, Although
I asked them to extend the deadline to complete the demand, they did not approve the extension of the timeline. Consequently
, we failed to provide the desired outcome within a specified date, and our valuable client lost their interest in providing further
projects to our organisation.
To overcome such
situations, we have decided to adopt an agile methodology for all upcoming projects, in which we could get good step-by-step deliveries along with
on-time demands. Additionally
, we could add more tasks during every review meeting with the customer.
I look forward to meeting you to discuss the above plan in detail.
Yours faithfully,
