Ron Jeffries has a new article about whether it's the responsibility of development to make the date.

For most projects, resources are pretty much fixed. And we've already decided that the date is sacrosanct. What's left? Some managers assume that it's sufficient to demand that the team work hard, with a sense of urgency, and get everything done. Well, that's really good fiction writing, but it's not management. Management is the process of meeting the goals as well as possible, within the limitations of time and resources.

The best part? That's exactly how the team I work for does it.
