High-performing teams rely on rituals and clarity. Use the following habits to stay aligned and deliver a polished submission.

Create lightweight rituals

Two stand-ups per day (morning priorities, evening recap) keep everyone unblocked. A shared doc or board makes progress visible.

Version control your deck

Name files with timestamps, note what changed, and lock slides before final polish. It prevents accidental overwrites during the rush to submit.

Rehearse under real conditions

Run at least two timed run-throughs using the actual tech you will present on. Capture questions that stump the team and assign owners to close the gaps.
