Cakeless

Assume that you have two product development teams toiling away. One finishes early and the other blows right past its schedule – finally finishing the work waaay downstream.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by – Douglas Adams

Do you think that managers at DYSCOs ignore the early finishers and reward the laggards with a cake party for the team’s “heroic effort down the stretch“? Either that happens, or all projects finish behind schedule and over budget….. and nobody gets any cake. Bummer.
