- wallflower 8y agoAt one of my previous companies, during a death march like project to get a 1.0 out, it was widely known that the offshore team was outright lying about completing their work in the estimated hours (scrum). They routinely worked overtime and sometimes weekends and yet the management pretended everything was hunky dory and on schedule. The non-offshore team looked bad unless we too worked long hours. A mess on both sides. We eventually shipped the release, 9 months late.
