The group separated with different understanding: As in the report, there are a few practices that is I think easily common, but not safe: During some of the track possessions I’ve seen, all of these happened.

There’s a saying in project management, or even the corporate world, that you should under promise but overdeliver, i.e. you say you can do something by the end of the week but you try to finish it even earlier, for example by the middle of the week, or even earlier, like the end of the…
