Periagoge
Scenario

When teams consistently miss deadlines despite planning

Our development team keeps estimating projects at half the time they actually take and we all just add padding to each other's estimates now instead of figuring out why we're so bad at this. Everyone knows we're doing it but we never talk about whether we're lying to ourselves, our stakeholders, or each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group has developed elaborate workarounds for a problem none of you are willing to examine directly.
