How it's used
Focuses on the incremental movement or development of a specific project or situation rather than personal growth. It is frequently paired with 冇乜 to express frustration or lack of results in a professional or formal setting. While it sounds slightly more formal than 發展, it is still standard in everyday workplace discussions.
Examples
Is there any new progress on this matter?
The plan hasn't made much progress for now.
Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 發展, which is broader and can refer to the development of a city, a career, or a relationship. Use 進展 specifically when you are tracking the status of a task or a sequence of events that has a clear goal.
