I have found exactly the opposite to be true. Condensing the build into six weeks creates such an intense schedule that it is very difficult to convince the marginal mentors to dive in and participate. If we had the option of spreading the work out over a longer period of time we could create a more flexible schedule for those who aren't willing to completely devote their life to the team for six straight weeks.
