The document discusses the problems that arise from setting strict due dates in Agile software development projects. It notes that due dates put pressure on the team to cut corners, like removing automated testing and assigning more work to senior developers. Standup meetings become just status reports rather than opportunities to surface issues. The inflexible due dates prevent the team from adapting to changes or delays, often blamed on the customer, and result in lower quality. The conclusion questions if Hitler, representing upper management, still believes in Agile principles given the negative effects of imposing deadlines.
