Ask HN: How does your company handle late running projects?
Reduce scope, or move the deadline.  Taking shortcuts or working overtime in significant amounts just leads to more trouble down the road.<p>Once the project is delivered, make sure you all sit down and do a retrospective on what went wrong, decide what you’ll change next time, and actually make those changes.<p>If none of this seems feasible in your organisation any time soon, leave. Don’t waste your time with people who aren’t taking your work seriously.
