Re:Techniques don't make up for a bad schedule! (Score 3, Interesting)

We would take the estimates, double them and add 30%, that is how I bid out all work. Now... The challenge is when you, the lead developer do not control you schedule and you are having meetings twice daily to discuss the progress. In that situation, well, it doesn't matter what the WBS says, or whether or not there is a code review, it matters that the features get done. Granted that is the anomolay for me, when it does happen, the goal is to get done and get out as quickly as I can.

Is that the norm or the anomolay for others.
