Summary: 

When time is of the essence and stress is high, it's easy to find your team drowning under the weight of impossible deadlines and spiraling requirements. Unfortunately, more projects go under due to poor management than for any other reason-and common responses to problems often make the situation worse, rather than better. The original sin of the software industry is the “tight, but doable” project schedule, caused by everything from market pressures to management perversity. Peter Clark shares the practical strategies he has used to return sanity to projects that seem hopelessly behind schedule and out of control. Learn to deal with and avoid mandatory overtime, task thrashing, distractions, scope creep, and more. By focusing on what is possible, you can re-energize the team and do the best job you can with the resources you have.
