"Unreasonable" deadlines are a fact of life in the software business. How should you proceed if you're faced with one?
What will be an ideal response?
Meet with the customer and (using the detailed estimate), explain why the imposed deadline is unrealistic. Be certain to note that all estimates are based on performance on past projects. Also be certain to indicate the percent improvement that would be required to achieve the deadline as it currently exists.The following comment is appropriate: "I think we may have a problem with the delivery date for the XYZ controller software. I've given each of you an abbreviated breakdown of development rates for past software projects and an estimate that we've done a number of different ways. You'll note that I've assumed a 20 percent improvement in past development rates, but we still get a delivery date that's only 2 calendar months later rather than date we hoped for."
