5 itemsAbout the Game
OTIF puts you in front of the whiteboard.
You have a kanban board, a team, a budget, and a deadline. The client wants it On Time,
In Full. How you get there is up to you.
BUILD YOUR TEAM
Hire junior and senior developers, QA engineers, and project managers — each with their
own day rate, skill ceiling, and success rate. A junior dev is cheap but risky on large
tasks. A senior costs three times as much but rarely fails.

MANAGE YOUR BACKLOG
Every feature starts as a card. Move it from Backlog → To Do → In Progress → Testing →
Done. Sounds simple. It isn't. Cards stall, bugs surface, rework happens. Your velocity
depends entirely on whether you staffed correctly.
WATCH THE CLOCK
Time runs in real days — and you control the speed. Pause to think. Fast-forward when
things are flowing. The deadline doesn't care.
SCORE LIKE A CLIENT
At the end of each project you receive an executive retrospective: Speed, Quality,
Features Delivered, Cost Efficiency. Hit all four and you've earned it. Compromise on
one and explain why.
