Uncle Bob, in his talk on software craftsmanship, said “If schedule is more important that accuracy, then I can always be on time.”
It doesn’t get more simple than that. If you want to know which one is more important in your own organization, ask this: If a planned release clearly can not be completed on time, do you cut features to make the schedule, or do you push the schedule out? If you cut features, I can promise you, you are also cutting quality and accuracy too.
