Deadlines aren't for tech teams. Their for anal upper management more concerned with quarterly financials than deliverables and stake holders who fundamentally do not understand how tech works.
When someone asks for a deadline, the answer should be "it gets done when it gets done."
But if you are a technical who is being asked, the correct answer is the real estimated timeline + at least 2 weeks, depending on complexity.
Wasn't agile created to solve this BS? Why is this still even a discussion? I have got better things to do than waste time answering stupid questions form stupid managers.
