The PMO Podcast™ Episode Summary
	The PMO Podcast™ Featured Story
	This week The PMO Podcast™ Featured Story presents, "Recommendations for Informal Projects Part V - Simple Status Reporting", presented by Mark Perry, host of The PMO Podcast™. Today’s episode is the fifth in a five part series aimed at recommendations for informal projects. For many of these kinds of informal projects, project management concepts like project status reporting are not well known or used. Rather than not performing any kind of status reporting, a key recommendation for these informal projects is the use of simple project status reporting and status reporting techniques.
	The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo
	The PMO Podcast Points Memo suggests, “Hope less, expect more." Hope is not an acceptable business strategy, tactic, action, or term. When someone says, "I hope…" it is, in essence, an announcement that some doubt exists in what we are doing or trying to accomplish. Rather than continuing in the conversation. Explore the doubt. What is it that is beyond our control? What are we missing that we need to have in order to honor our commitment? Why can’t we say “I Expect” instead of “I Hope”?
	The PMO Podcast™ Mailbag
	The PMO Podcast Mailbag answers a listener question about what to do when the customer cancels a project.
