I considered that the job of the CF manager, but perhaps it is was
not.

Note that one of the influences on the "death march" here was lack of a fully devoted CF manager for the full duration. I did some rabble rousing to get things started in the usual way, but my time for this only budgeted for six weeks in that role. And that was quite optimistic for this one.

Trying to quantify how much time investment the CF manager role really involves is one of my important projects to chew on. Whoever ends up doing that should at least have an idea what scale of problem they're getting into.
