WHAT´S NEXT

So the company that will continue is Fast & Furious Burgers. Unfortunatly, one misunderstading with one member of this company has caused the following (Besides Monday students must continue with the option of the class project):

- F&F will be reorganized together with members from BeFree company (this company does not exist anymore). 
- F&F departments members will be split up.
- Each new department will have as maximum 5 people, so new leaders will be named.
- The final presentation will be held on December 16th.
- All must work as a team.

Consider that:

- No member can present alone or to be autonomus.
- You can´t quit to the project, that means if you do that, you voluntarly do not continue with the class.
- Comunication and compromise are the keys of your success.
