Scenario

When your team's perfectionism becomes collective procrastination

Our startup team keeps missing deadlines because we all perfectionist-procrastinate in different ways and no one wants to ship anything that isn't perfect and we've created this weird culture where being behind schedule feels safer than being judged for our work.

What we've seen

A group is using shared perfectionist standards to justify never finishing anything.
