Periagoge
Scenario

When teams get stuck in cycles of unrealistic planning and inevitable burnout

Our product team has this pattern where we commit to aggressive deadlines in planning meetings and then spend the next six weeks in a slow-motion panic, cutting corners and burning out, but somehow we keep doing it every quarter. I think we all know the estimates are wrong when we make them but there's this collective pretense that this time will be different.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group continues patterns they know are destructive because confronting the underlying dynamics feels more dangerous than enduring the familiar pain.
