Focus on Deadlines to Keep Your Project from Wandering
Tom Mochal, Jeff Mochal · Apress eBooks · 2011
On most projects, the project sponsor and project team are focused on completing the original work within the agreed budget and deadline. If anything, the team usually struggles to get all the work done by the deadline. In fact, there are many times when the deadline date may slip a few days so that work is not too rushed, which could cause implementation problems. On most projects, completing within a few days of your deadline is still satisfactory.
