# Project kickoff — Northwind redesign engagement

**Date:** 2026-04-07 | **Duration:** 60 min | **Format:** Video

## Attendees

**Client:** Dana Cho (product sponsor), Luis Ortega (engineering). **Us:** Priya Shah (delivery), Omar Haddad (design), Riley Chen (tech lead).

## Agenda

Goals and Q2 metrics; MVP vs phase 2; comms rhythm; risks and dependencies.

## Decisions

Weekly Tuesday status plus mid-week **async** updates. MVP = **authenticated dashboard**, saved views, CSV export; **PDF** slips to phase 2. Sandbox API creds via the client **secret manager**—never in chat.

## Owners & risks

Haddad: UX/visual system. Chen: API and data model. Shah: timeline and burn. **Risks:** legacy **SAML** quirks (week-one spike); marketing **copy slip**—escalate early.

## Next meeting

2026-04-14 — low-fi design review and open questions.
