Plan cannot keep up with changes 😱  Uncertainty of interview schedule When we finished the first phase of our project, we immediately began the second phase of the work according to our milestone. Firstly, we read a lot of literature reviews to help us to deeply understand the problems and design the first draft of the interview questions.
