RESF JIRA Date Reset for Realistic Expectations

April 4, 2026 at 1:22 AMoperationalhigh

Situation

Peter directed Nathan and Justin to adjust April/May JIRA items with low confidence due to RESF resource drain. Move them out now to give marketing a high-confidence scope for 4-6 weeks.

Reasoning

RESF resource drain is real and won't resolve quickly — better to set honest expectations now than miss deadlines later. Marketing needs reliable dates for external commitments. Specifically deprioritized 9.6 GPU drivers in favor of building KMOD automation (invest in infrastructure vs one-off fulfillment).

Additional Context

TPS data shows multiple items already slipping: LKRG 28d, GCP deprecations 30d, Ollama 0% confidence. RESF infrastructure fragile — builds halted 5-6 days, only two people (Skip, Dieter) can fix it. Brady requested all KMODs for 9.6 but automation should come first.

Observed Evidence

Fathom summary: 'Peter requested JIRA dates be adjusted now.' Action items: Justin to deprioritize 9.6 GPU drivers and move low-confidence items. Nathan to reload May deliverables. Proposed solution: prioritize KMOD automation over fulfilling immediate 9.6 request.
