No, the idea is that you don't set hard deadlines for the team - they're pointless. It results in unnecessary stress and work won't get done any faster (maybe in the short term, but it's unsustainable).

Either the deadline is too short and your team has to work overtime, or it was too generous and you lose efficiency.

The project manager, of course, still needs to be able to make an estimate according the his team's velocity, which he can then communicate to other business divisions.
