> A single unproductive developer will cause us to miss the scheduled release date of a feature. The way you phrase it implies that it actually matters if you miss a release. If that is the case then why would you operate with such a lean team? You have a bus factor of one. This implies you are on the losing side of a political fight...

Or you haven't communicated the potential risks properly and senior management will get a huge shock when you don't deliver... Etc
