"Imposed deadlines" is another reason for accelerating project completion.For example, the president of a software company remarks in a speech that new advanced software will be available in one year.Such statements too often become imposed project duration dates-without any consideration of the problems or cost of meeting such a date.The project duration time is set while the project is in its "concept" phase before or without any detailed scheduling of all the activities in the project.This phenomenon occurs very frequently in practice!
