  1. What are the next steps

    • Read this whole FAQ
    • All the PMs should reach out to their team, and find out who will be joining on this project*. And get them to fill out the TDM collab roster, so that we can quickly get people the Google Drive and 1 Password access they need before Wednesday 2025-03-26
      • *People who have individual time conflicts (as opposed to the whole team having a conflict) will sit out the month of April, as their current team will be on hiatus while they work on TDM.
