How to design a team that would produce software of good quality — no time pressure
Blog post from Qase
The discussion explores the detrimental effects of time pressure on developers, such as reduced quality, creativity, and mental health, and questions the necessity of imposing deadlines and estimations in project management. While acknowledging that certain scenarios, like public tenders, require estimations due to external constraints, the text argues that many internal pressures for deadlines are irrational and often stem from a lack of collaboration or poor forecasting abilities. The reliance on estimations is scrutinized, with examples illustrating how inaccurate predictions can lead to misguided decision-making. The text suggests that instead of focusing on precise time estimates, teams should aim for value-driven goals and consider alternative frameworks like Kanban's statistical forecasting to manage workflows without imposing stress. It also recommends exploring the #NoEstimates approach to achieve objectives without enforcing rigid time constraints on developers.
