Customer to the team: „we really need to focus on finishing PBIs to get the work done and reach our sprint goal“
Me thinking: what the fuck do you think I do all day long?
Do these people really think that work will get done faster by putting pressure and stress on the dev team?
No, it will definitely not.
But people will be more pissed on the day job and work will result with less quality, because everyone will focus on get shit done as fast as possible and not get it done right. That’s not sustainable (I hate that word, but it’s the most suitable here).
Artificial pressure from people in leading positions is the worst thing you can do to a development team and really drains motivation. If people in a leading position can’t handle pressure and stress, but simply forward it to the dev team then they are not the right person for the job.
