This is talked about in the book "Peopleware", that states the opposite. Imposing tight deadlines often stresses people out, causing them to miss creative solutions that would save time. Instead they chose the obvious, longer, safe route.
That's what the data in the book seemed to point to. Programmers with no deadlines were more productive then programmers put in the control group. However there might be data showing otherwise, I would be open to it.
- ppeetteerr 7y agoI have read that book and having worked in some companies, I can agree that tight, unrealistic deadlines are detrimental to outcomes. However, working in silicon valley, I can say that there may be need to push people to work more efficiently. It's a fine line.
