## Critical Path

The critical path is:
1. Requirements → Design → Frontend → QA → Launch

**Critical dependencies**:
- Frontend cannot start until design is complete
- Frontend cannot integrate until Backend API is ready
- QA cannot begin until Frontend is complete

**Parallel tracks**:
- Backend API can proceed in parallel with Design
- Documentation can proceed in parallel with QA
