🌱 Extreme Programming

Even if there is only one day left in the iteration it is better to get the entire team re-focused on a single completed task than many incomplete ones

Working overtime sucks the spirit and motivation out of your team. When your team becomes tired and demoralized they will get less work done, not more, no matter how many hours are worked. Becoming over worked today steals development progress from the future. You can’t make realistic plans when your team does more work this month and less next month.

…adding more people is also a bad idea when a project is already late. The contribution made by many new people is usually negative. Instead ramp up your development team slowly well in advance, as soon as you predict a release will be too late.
