Cultural Tip
In Spanish‑speaking workplaces, it’s common to start a project by explicitly stating that the team has *revisado los requisitos básicos*. This signals that you’re aligned on the scope before diving into details. Keep the tone professional; avoid overly casual language in formal meetings, but you can soften it with *¿Qué tal si revisamos…?* when speaking with close colleagues.
