A: Hey, how's the project going?

B: It's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride so far. We've had some challenges, but we're still on track.

A: That's good to hear. Are you running smoothly?

B: For the most part, yes. But we did run into some unexpected issues that set us back a bit.

A: Oh no, did that cause you to miss the deadline?

B: We're cutting it close, but we should still be able to make the launch date. We just need to stay focused and not miss our chance to release this product.

A: That's good. Are you staying within budget?

B: We're doing our best, but we did go over budget on a few things. We're trying to go ahead with the plan as best we can, but it's been a bit of a challenge.
