Unit 7 · Epigraph
"The present continuous is a tense that never has to land. The future perfect is a tense that has to be defunded from."
Objectives
What you'll be able to do
- Write the paragraph a CTO defends at a December board — completed releases in the future perfect, shape of the team in the future continuous.
- Diagnose a present-continuous roadmap and rewrite it, sentence by sentence, into a defensible three-year commitment.
- Distinguish a ship-date over-promise from a shape-of-team commitment — and know which tense carries which.
- Read a competitor's public roadmap and price the tense they wrote it in.
