Super useful. Thanks. The project is also in burning condition, viz. Tight deadlines, pressure etc.

Also talk to your QA and make sure they understand the level of throughput possible for your team. QA can unintentionally kill a struggling project by overloading the tracker with bug reports.

"burning condition" should not be a persistent state. Job #1 should be getting it back to a healthy state, where people feel comfortable working normal hours.
