Delivering quality takes time. If the tasks are due in a few weeks and the client asks for them to be delivered in a few days, then that would impact and burden the team to complete the ask as soon as possible. This would decrease the quality. I would make a point to let the client know the ideal scenario time that would be needed to complete the task versus the time they are asking for the task to be completed. I would try to fetch an agreeable amount of time for my team to complete the task [ which may not be as less than what the client is seeking and a bit greater than or equal to the ideal time to complete the task]. If the client is still adamant about quicker turnaround, I will try to fetch additional resource basis the project need.

Speed vs. quality: the eternal project management dilemma. But who says you can't have both? To balance rapid delivery with excellence: 1. Set clear expectations early. Communicate the trade-offs between speed and quality. 2. Break the project into smaller, manageable sprints. Deliver value incrementally. 3. Implement robust quality control measures. Automate testing where possible. 4. Prioritize ruthlessly. Focus on critical features first. 5. Foster open communication. Address issues promptly. 6. Leverage experienced team members. Their expertise can accelerate quality work. 7. Use time-boxing techniques to maintain momentum without sacrificing standards. Cutting corners may win the sprint, but it loses the marathon.
