Read the original article Hit count: 359

I was reading a book about XP programming and about agile teams.

While I was reading, I saw this scenario. I've never worked with a development team (just in school). So I would like what do you opine on this situation:

Your boss has asked you to deliver software in a time that can only be possible to meet the project team asking if you want to work overtime without pay. All team members have young children.

  1. Discuss whether it should accept this request from your boss or should persuade the team to give their time to the organization rather than their families.

  2. What could be significant factors in the decision?

  3. As a programmer, you are offered an upgrade as project manager, but his feeling is that you can have a more effective contribution in a technical role in one administrative. Write when you should accept that promotion.

Somethimes, I sacrifice my free time for accomplishing hits at work, so it's very important to me to know your opinion base of your experience.
