 # Constraints
 
 Some boundaries around our project.
 
 ## External
 
-<!--
-  constraints coming from the outside that your team has no control over:
-  - project deadlines
-  - number of unit tests required to pass a code review
-  - technologies (sometimes a client will tell you what to use)
-  - power or connectivity
-  - ...
--->
+- **Project Deadlines**: The project must be completed and delivered by
+  **January 8th**. Extensions are not an option.
+- **Technology Requirements**: We are required to use specific technologies such
+  as VS Code, Python, and GitHub.
+- **Testing Standards**: All code must pass a minimum of 90% unit test coverage
+  and meet quality metrics defined by MIT Emerging Talent Foundations Track instructors.
+- **Connectivity**: Some team members might face intermittent internet connectivity.
 
 ## Internal: Involuntary
 
-<!--
-  constraints that come from within your team, and you have no control over:
-  - each of your individual skill levels
-  - amount of time available to work on the project
--->
+- **Skill Levels**: The team includes members with varying levels of expertise,
+  with some being beginners who are still learning the required tools and technologies.
+- **Time Availability**: Team members have varying schedules and commitments,
+  which can impact how much time each person can contribute.
+- **Learning Curve**: Beginners may require additional time to learn new tools,
+  frameworks, or workflows, potentially slowing progress.
 
 ## Internal: Voluntary
 
-<!--
-  constraints that your team decided on to help scope the project. they may include:
-  - coding style & conventions
-  - agree on a code review checklist for the project repository
-  - the number of hours you want to spend working
-  - only using the colors black and white
--->
+- **Independent Work**: Each team member works independently on their assigned
+  tasks but can seek advice or guidance from others as needed.
+- **Coding Standards**: The team has agreed to follow a consistent coding style
+  guide to maintain quality and readability.
+- **Code Reviews**: All pull requests will be reviewed by at least two other
+  team members to ensure quality and foster knowledge sharing.
+- **Collaboration Tools**: Communication tools like Slack will be used for quick
+  questions and advice, while GitHub Discussions and Issues will handle more
+  structured feedback.
+- **Documentation**: Clear and beginner-friendly comments and documentation are
+  mandatory for all code to make it accessible to everyone on the team.
+- **Scope Management**: To ensure progress, the project scope is limited to core
+  features.
+- **Flexibility**: Pioneers United encourages flexibility, allowing members to
+  ask for help or advice at any point without hesitation.
