Development Plan for Rest of Semester (v1)

Development Plan

• Hard Deadline: 3 May 2024
• Soft Deadline: 26 April 2024

Summary

There are 8 weeks left until the end of the semester. To give us a bit of a buffer, Damian and I decided to make 3 May the hard deadline for this project. I will impose 26 April as a soft deadline so we can have a week before the hard deadline to fix any bugs and whatnot that may come up
