Realistic Timelines
-
Success signals
Teams use timelines to create enough pressure to increase efficiency without sacrificing quality or causing burnout.
Teams understand that projects evolve and consistently allow for timeline adjustments while keeping everyone informed when changes occur.
When setting timelines, teams rely heavily on input from engineers in addition to business needs.
Common pitfalls
Time pressure can boost efficiency, but only up to a certain point. When timelines are too ambitious, they are actually counterproductive and cause efficiency to decline.
Aggressive timelines may force engineers to make poor tradeoffs in code quality, resulting in technical debt that hinders the team later.
Unrealistic timelines are one of the most frequent causes of unhappiness among developers. Teams that are beholden to unreasonable time pressures can experience high turnover.
Measurement
Say/do ratio. A comparison of what was planned with what was actually accomplished. This reflects how well expectations during planning match with actual execution.
Missed deadlines. The number of deadlines missed within a timeframe. By analyzing the frequency and reasons for missing deadlines, teams can uncover areas of misalignment.
Time to market. The typical duration between a key project's conception to its delivery to end-users. This helps balance leniency in timelines with business needs.
