Chaos begins, stress rises, deadlines shift, and communication has flown out the window. What was once a simple task is now a ticking time bomb. With a small team and virtually no additional resources, Logan’s feeling the summer heat early. As icing on the cake, throw in an MIA manager while the CEO presses for a demo that isn’t even ready.
