> Push too hard and you are likely to see degraded product quality, and eventually employee attrition. Don’t push hard enough and you’ll run out of money before you can acquire enough customers or raise your next round of funding. Either extreme can be fatal. Ehhh. I would go so far as to say, pacing in general is not something management really has any control over. I don't recall ever in my career that a manager "pushed" a team to appreciably increase their real productivity. Your best bet is to just get in tune with your team's pace, then plan based on that. Good managers don't "push", they prioritize.
