Project 2025 · the sprint board · Sprint 7, day 59 · swept 9 November 2026
The backlog is a book: Mandate for Leadership 2025, 920 pages, thirty chapters, handed in before the term began. Every task on this board is a sentence from it, with the page. It is assigned to the office the book gives it. It leaves the backlog on a signed document and on nothing else. The sprint is a hundred days, the administration’s own unit. Blocked means a court.

The burndown
29% complete
22 of 76 tasks done · 10 in progress · 17 in review · 7 blocked · 20 in the backlog · 3 won’t do
the count the straight line from 76 tasks on 20 Jan 2025 to none on 20 Jan 2029 today
Velocity: 1 task in the last sprint of 100 days. At that velocity the remaining 54 clear on 22 Aug 2041, 12 years after the term ends on 20 Jan 2029.
The scope is today’s backlog held flat across the term: the paper reads the book a chapter at a time and the board grows as it does, so the line is the honest one for the tasks it lists and no others.

- Blocked — a court order stops it today.
- Done — in effect by a signed document.
- Won’t do — withdrawn, reversed or voted down.
- Sprint — 100 days, counted from 20 Jan 2025. Velocity — tasks done in the last sprint. p. — the printed page of the book; the link opens the PDF at that page.
