Production / Mission [5/12] part 2 completed done

We are on track. Our Day 2 tasks are done.
Good news, Luke's math exam has been postponed to next week! That's one risk out of the list!
Another great news, the team has been selected and invited to the Dev masterclass tomorrow afternoon.

At the end of Day 2, the team takes a moment to reflect on the current progress and risks.
After a quick assessment, here is the situation:

The Ship fire power really impacts the difficulty. How can we tune the difficulty level?

High impact! We need time to nail the difficulty level.

We are unsure how to build the boss battle. And will it be fun?

High risk! Do we keep the feature?

The team wants to attend the Dev master class tomorrow. We will loose 1/2 day of development.

High impact! We need to replan our work.

We are unsure how to save the Scores of the players. Lime is not allowing server based functions.

High impact! The feature does not seem doable.

We still hesitate to have an end game or to spawn waves of Aliens endlessly...

High impact! We need a decision.

We need to confirm the Playtest timing to the participants.

Urgent! We need a decision.

So, the team proposes the following:

CUT Scores Leaderboard.

CUT the boss battle. We can meet SpaceTron in the UI...

Use the end game mechanic after X waves of Aliens, depending on the Ship firepower.

Schedule the Playtest tomorrow afternoon (Day 3) to assess the game and have time to iterate.

The team really hesitates.

They promised the Leaderboard in the initial mandate. And they liked the idea of the SpaceTron Boss battle...

K6 starts reworking the Gantt Chart:

So, here is what the Gantt Chart would look like:

The team decides to go for diner to discuss project monitoring and to make decisions.
