You now have a privileged moment with an expert.

Start by briefly describing the essential elements of your project, which will help the expert understand your need.

Then share all your questions with the expert before starting the conversation.

During your exchange, try and take notes that the expert can see and rephrase; make sure you understand and take ownership of what you are given.

Allow for some time to summarize the elements that seem important to you, and don't hesitate to make the most of the meeting to ask for some feedback on your project!
