Note that one of the influences on the "death march" here was lack of a
fully devoted CF manager for the full duration. I did some rabble
rousing to get things started in the usual way, but my time for this
only budgeted for six weeks in that role. And that was quite optimistic
for this one.
Trying to quantify how much time investment the CF manager role really
involves is one of my important projects to chew on. Whoever ends up
doing that should at least have an idea what scale of problem they're
getting into.
