And almost never does because it's designed in a way that's easy to abuse. Instead you often see dynamic ever-changing scope, dynamic ever tightening deadlines, and no margins for risk. Everything is on fire always and you just chase the fires around with your dev teams to put out fires, crack whips, and ask why features are behind schedule. It's madness in much of the industry.
