If you are cutting it so close that an extra few hours are the difference between delivering or not, _ the project has been a failure for quite a while _
Some things cannot be easily foreseen and you have to fight some fires. That's fine. But let's not normalize lack of planning.
- _carbyau_ 6y agoI don't work in coding but as sysadmin. And the same stuff applies. Projects with multimillion dollar outcomes are somehow managed by people who don't stoop to ask your team anything in the planning phase. Instead they come in the implementation phase and want you to jump. Then you point out the resources required - in writing - and the fires are burning... At that point, I may help or may not depending on whether they pay good overtime and it suits me.
