Crunch mode is a pure waste of time, energy and money

posted on Thursday, July 31, 2008 5:41 PM | Filed Under [ Misc ]

Crunch mode, overtimes, weekends spent at the office, are at the very first sight the easiest way to maximize production to meet strict deadlines: my experience is that actually many companies operating in the Italian IT market intensively use this approach. Is the effort worth the gains? Is a tired employee able to work at the same quality level of a fresh one? Obviously not, crunch mode reveals to be counterproductive after a short amount of time. Francesco Carucci, a member of the Italian .NET User Group, recently posted a link to a very interesting article every PM should read.

Here it is, enjoy.
