I'm a lawyer. I was absolutely pressured to draft and review documents faster than I felt comfortable. At a certain point though your reputational risk (and the reputational risk to your company) needs to be considered above anyone standing over you pressuring you to work so fast that quality is sacrificed. I can draft a terrible document as quickly as my boss would like but that doesn't add much value and it's not what I'm being paid to accomplish. Management will always be vocal about time and cost while a project is in-process but management and the end user will be far more vocal once the project is complete if the quality does not meet expectations. The time-quality-cost triad is frustrating when you're stuck in the middle for sure but the best approach is to help management understand the trade-offs so you both can set reasonable expectations. Time is money and all.
