Periagoge
Scenario

When teams consistently commit to unrealistic timelines

Our product team has this pattern where we commit to unrealistic timelines in planning meetings because no one wants to be the person who says something will take longer, and then we all scramble and stress and deliver mediocre work. We've done this cycle four times this quarter.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're trapped in a collective performance of optimism that prevents honest assessment of what's actually possible.
