Friday End-of-Day Celebration: All 4 deliverables complete, teams ready for Phase 1.C
🚨 Blocker Resolution
If a team discovers blockers:
Immediate Action (same day):
- Report in daily standup (09:15)
- Identify if blocker blocks other teams
- Propose workaround or solution
Resolution Paths:
- Dependency blocker: Coordinate with other team leads
- Technical blocker: Escalate to System Director
- Resource blocker: Request additional resources (approved by director)
Example Blocker Scenarios:
- "Storybook 7.x has breaking change" → Design System team adjusts templates
- "Performance monitoring needs backend API" → DevOps Engineer 2 creates API
- "Test scenario requires feature not yet built" → QA team documents dependency, Phase 1.C team prioritizes
No blocker will be allowed to derail Nov 22 deliverables without explicit System Director decision.
