Thanks for a great product. I like how you guys timed the release with the even of the Mailbox shutdown. I continue to document issues on Github and really appreciate the responsiveness. One thing I'm afraid of is that N1 is developing

One of the fundamental issues is that upper management sees estimates as bell curves as though 50% of the time a project may finish early. In reality, very few projects on time, let alone early. No one wants to hear about reducing scope but
