-1. Each task must be mentioned under the right category (implemented

+1. All testing was just manual, in-browser testing, rather than unit
+ tests. We really need write unit tests this iteration, as we had
+ breakages where we said "this is exactly why we need unit

+3. We had the approach of "show everyone everything" with peer

+ specific peer reviews with just a couple members of the team.
