Artifact: SBI Feedback, Corrective — Sam's Missed Deadline

Corrective SBI feedback for a missed committed deadline -- exercises co-03. Everline and every name here are fictional; every quote is an illustrative, constructed example.

Situation: The schema-migration script was due Monday for Wednesday's release; it landed Thursday, and I found out it was late from the release checklist, not from you.

Behavior: You didn't flag the slip when you first noticed you were behind, sometime around Friday of the prior week based on your commit history -- the deadline just quietly passed.

Impact: The release had to be delayed a day, and I had to explain the delay to the product team without being able to say why it happened, because I didn't know either.

Instead: Next time you're behind on a committed date, flag it the day you notice, even before you have a fix -- "I'm going to miss Monday, here's why, here's my new estimate" costs you thirty seconds and lets me manage the release plan around it instead of around a surprise.
