Post Mortem
what went well
- Onboarding with this project went smoothly as the tools and documentation from base game were already well established
what went wrong
- Not knowing who was in charge of what led me to lean a bit too hard on my direct lead for questions
even better if
- I could have been handed crit path bugs and polish tasks earlier in my tenure on the project.
