Risks

  • Not good pacing at the start and we end up cramming at the end
    • Assigned cards are due on Thursday
  • Equal contributions from all team members (senioritis, other priorities)
    • Assigned cards, so that people are held accountable for the work they need to be doing
  • Overconfidence in our ability to get work done
    • First implementation cycle, no previous benchmarks to compare against.
    • Stretch goals separated from essential ones
