no no no, this is the wrong way around

because sales and marketing sell it before it even exists

Sales: "Can we do this?

Dev: "No, we cannot."

Sales: "Uhhhh... But I already told the customer we could."

Dev: "That's called lying. You lied to the customer."

Sales: "...So you'll have it done next week?"

Dev: "I'm going to need at least three weeks."

Sales: "...But I already told the customer two weeks."

Dev: Sigh
