Project Execution Plan Briefing

Medium Confidence

What We’re Checking

Are these timeline and resource assumptions realistic for a 24-week MVP delivery?

What We Found

The plan assumes a fully resourced team can deliver core writing features in 12 weeks, community features in 8 weeks, and launch-ready polish in 4 weeks — aggressive but achievable if you have dedicated mobile, backend, and AI integration capacity from day one.

Before You Continue

Before you lock this, confirm you have committed resources for at least a Product Manager, Technical Lead, and 2-3 engineers — the timeline collapses quickly if anyone is part-time or the team needs to ramp up mid-flight.

Approach

PoetryPalsy will be delivered using an agile methodology optimized for MVP development:
