What will go wrong
Obtain assignment agreements from 2 remaining artists has been blocked for 9 days
- — Blocked since 30 Aug
- — 0 items wait on it
- — Waiting on an approval
0 downstream items cannot start.
- 1.Get the approval, or remove the approval requirement if it is not warranted
How to close the two outstanding artist assignments has been waiting 5 days
- — Critical impact
- — 2 work items cannot proceed without it
2 milestones depend on it.
Likely delay 5–8 days
How that figure was arrived at
- 1.A recommendation is prepared — review it and decide
- 2.If it cannot be decided this week, say so explicitly and reschedule the work behind it
Acceptance window is tight on 2 launch-blocking deliverables
- — 7 acceptance criteria are still unmet across launch-blocking deliverables
- — The earliest is already 5 days past its date
Deliverables get accepted under time pressure, or the launch moves.
Likely delay 7–11 days
How that figure was arrived at
- 1.Review acceptance criteria and drop any that are not genuinely required for launch
- 2.Start acceptance on the criteria that can be met now rather than at the end
Delivery date at risk
- — Only 2 completions in the window, below the 3 needed to state a rate
- — 1 item is blocked, the longest for 9 days
- — 1 unmade decision of high or critical impact
- — 1 milestone is already past due
Target date is 74 days away. 4 milestones remain.
- 1.Clear the 1 decision waiting — they cost nothing to make and are holding work
- 2.Unblock or reassign the 1 stopped item
- 3.Record effort as work completes, so throughput becomes measurable
What readiness gate is preventing delivery
Delivery
Delivery is in progress. 1 of 2 linked deliverables still to be accepted. Kenji Arai owns it.
What actual execution history shows
Only 2 completions in the last 28 days. That is below the 3 needed to state a rate, so no throughput figure is given.
