Issues/Challenges this week:

Chords HTA was incomplete: Did not get to completing it because we wanted to aim for decent quality with 5 HTAs over bad quality with 6 HTAs.

Workload Overload: Team took on way too much this week due to a late start on implementation.

System Re-design lead to project delays: Team had to redesign parts of the system since the original design was either hard to use or did not support a certain feature.
