I think there's also a third option - that the deadline energizes.
I've been in teams, where the team as a whole set a completely arbitrary deadline for the functionality they'd like to have done by a given time - and that worked well to motivate team members to hit it.
Granted, this is probably not the norm though, but it's not impossible.
- funkymike 5y agoI think there's a large difference between arbitrary deadlines that the team themselves set and buy into as a rallying cry vs. an arbitrary deadline that was externally imposed upon a team, often without full context provided to understand the relative priority of features as well as whether the deadline itself is negotiable.
