  1. Its an estimate, not a promise. Stop pretending you're agile when in practice you function as waterfall. If you need an exact feature set by a specific date then get your Gantt chart and like it. I've seen multiple companies commit to a deadline w/a third party without even meeting w/engineering to see if it was *possible*. They still ask for estimates, but anything above what they committed to is unacceptable. But they still refuse to sequence the events and back into it because they are 'agile', as if agile just increases productivity and reduces waste by magic with no trade-offs.
