    Or if you just want to inform management that more people won’t simply mean the work gets done much faster just give the example of “If takes 9 months for a woman to make a child, it doesn’t mean you can get 9 women and make a child in one month”

      “Should’ve come and asked the experts how long would it take before accepting marketing’s estimates”

      “So either find us more time or chose what we’re going to drop for the release”
