Hi Tim, It's interesting that you bring this up. Neither Deming nor Goldratt believe in the type of deadline setting, commitment based approach your...
Good question, I picked it up from Karls mail :) My interpretation (which is probably incorrect, as Karl pointed out) is a workload in a team that mismatches...
