Three Product Lines Compete for the Same Team
After the Iron Pigeons pre-mint, problems still needed attention, while preparations for the spring release continued. Some wanted to finish public-facing materials first; others insisted that post-mint issues could not wait. Until then, each line had largely followed its own deliverables.

After the Iron Pigeons pre-mint, problems still needed attention, while preparations for the spring release continued. At Friday's meeting, the studio put its three parallel product lines on the table. Their leads saw that the same people appeared on several schedules.
Some wanted to finish public-facing materials first; others insisted that post-mint issues could not wait. Rather than blame anyone for the strain, the meeting marked which tasks needed attention that day and which could return in the next discussion. Staffing was growing tight, and ad hoc overtime could no longer absorb every request.
Until then, each line had largely followed its own deliverables. Now the schedules had to be negotiated together. The team decided that leads and implementers would check the order of work before giving the community progress they could confirm. They still disagreed over what could be deferred.
