Hi all,
> Parkinson's law says: "The work takes all time allocated to it".
- Parkinson has been written about "public administration", not motivated
software development, that highly depends on creativity, didn't he?
- Parkinson also said "The matters most debated in a deliberative body
tend to be the minor ones where everybody understands the issues."..... :-)

Well, after all that crying for deadlines my 2 cents about deadlines:
Every kind of pressure makes stupid (at least it kills creativity). No
matter if it's time-pressure, want-to-get-more-money-pressure, threats or
whatever.
Why I believe this?
1. Having a (realistic!) look at myself and the ppl around me.
2. http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/dan_pink_on_motivation.html (The most
impressive sentence in this video is "There's a mismatch between what
science knows and what business does.")
So, if you want a candle-light-for-dummies-framework for the future, go
ahead and cry for deadlines. Otherwise let creativity and motivation do
their (so far great) work plz.
Greets,
Irene
