    Next week's plan

Checkpoint: ready to move on?

Every learner has the integration milestone signed, or a recovery plan agreed.

Extension for fast finishers

Improve robustness: handle sensor failures and invalid inputs.

Catch-up path

Agree which features to drop so the minimum scope is demonstrable by S60.

Homework and practice

Fix issues from the check.

Facilitator notes

  • This is the last safe point to cut scope.
