do you have any examples of this?
- losteric 9y agoAre you asking for examples of failure resulting from one or more people overstating their confidence in achieving expectations?
- neltnerb 9y agoIf you're falling behind and are finding a problem is more complex than originally estimated, it is your job to express that doubt to your manager so that they can either get you more resources or otherwise... manage... the issue. They have to make a lot of pieces fit together that all converge to a solution at the right time to keep everything overall moving, and can't do that without good information. It's more important to the company that the project get done than that you did it all by yourself, and if you're afraid to disclose your barriers or doubts then it will fail spectacularly. You will look infinity times worse failing to meet a deadline without advance warning than if you go to your boss a month before and explain that the problem has <x, y, and z> unexpected issues and that you need help.
