With a longer build season, it would be interesting to see how many teams continued to panic, procrastinate, waste time, expend time that they can not account for, fail to become more organized and efficient, and give the programmers yet the same amount of time (very little) that they had in the 6 weeks build - and somehow justify that there just wasn't enough time.
If it were to go longer, I would think that sensible teams would work in shifts and have a reasonable closing time at night. (I believe I have read posts this season that address this within some teams now, born out of necessity.) Shifts would be something to look at regarding saving marriages, helping salvage/maintain grades, encouraging communication and sharing of knowledge, and developing better time management within the team.
It's an interesting topic/discussion. -
