While the title of this article is misleading (it's really about communication, not scheduling), it is food for thought.

Though I can't help but boggle at the author encouraging a team to abandon all milestones/deadlines in the pursuit of quality. While perhaps the given team really was looking for a convenient excuse for any quality problems, I can't help but look at it as pragmatism.

"Take all the time you need - but make sure it's perfect," is a good way to discourage completion.
