Context :
Project, small team, diverse, not dispersed, highly demanding customer, high quality software
Problem :
No visibility, last minute problems, low commitment (not necessarily real but perceived as such), no tools, low budgets, high maintenance charge

- Let the problems hidden;
- Invite people not directly involved in;
- Drag the meeting out;
- Have short memory.
