I once read an article linked from Hacker News. I don't remember the title or anything that could be used to rediscover it. It might have been something about Scrum, waterfall etc.
It said there are 7 ways to deal with impeding deadlines, and only 4 of them are available to the people in the trenches. The other 3 are available to managers.
They are:
- extending the deadline
- assigning more people to the project
- changing the scope of the project (requirements)
Managers are notorious for avoiding responsibility and pushing it on other people. In degenerate workplaces, they want you to think failing a deadline is ALL YOUR responsibility and solely within your capabilities. Just work faster! Harder! LONGER!
