Would be the same as in the original Monthly presentation...

If we abstract up to the BP level then a BP is either done or not
done. If it's not done then there needs to be a review of why it
wasn't done and a decision about what to do about it. That could mean
carrying it an extra month, breaking it out into smaller pieces,
discarding part of the work, or all of the above.

Good question. No it doesn't as far as our thoughts go because we've
taken into account that these things happens and we beleive the TL
(with input from others) will make the right decision for the
business.  Also, with a window of only 4 weeks it's harder to really
goof something up than with a window of 6 months.  We'll know about
problems much faster with monthly releases but it will take a tad more
up front planning to break everything apart and then assemble the
upcoming month's schedule.
