Inspired by this: http://infiniteundo.com/post/25326999628/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-time

but for PMs

I think there is still a disconnect between management and programming. Making changes to a large program seem trivial to management while it might be a daunting tasks for programmers as it may fundamentally change the overall design on the program.

Have you read the book Mythical Man-Month ?

Its a good read on the subject of time and management.

Yes, I've read it, it's a classic. I'm trying to formulate your comment into a "falsehood" PMs believe: "A very small change to a large program takes very little time." or sth.

"Making the team switch contexts is cost-free."
