Anyone else noticing a shift to “get the job done faster than possible” rather than following a standard timeline?

My last 3 projects have all been “fast track” which amounts to me ignoring the standard timeline tables and performing miracles to get thing done

LOL, YES! I just recently started a new job after having been unemployed for the past 3 years. I report to the CEO, who every conversation about every project has the words "fast tracked" or "expedited" tied to it. At first, I wondered if it was specific to me and the programs I'm running... but I hear him say these same things to the other country directors too.

Could it be due to Q4 coming to an end and clients wanting to get the last few projects in for 2025? We have a client who just submitted 3 samples with a fast track and when we calculated when the phases of studies would end, they all end right before the start of 2026. For my CRO group, this time of year we are either slammed with all the last minute samples for testing, or we're dead and there's no in between.

This is the story of my life right now. Insane timelines with lots of risk taking and we just cross our fingers.

It’s like everything is being fast tracked recently and from what I’ve noticed most of it is because of grant timelines .

My latest one has a client that hasn’t even signed my part off yet and I’m doing work on it 🤷🏻‍♂️

I haven't really noticed that to be honest but I do feel like there is some pressure to utilize AI in order to get more done in the same amount of time. But at the same time, I spent so much of my energy fact-checking AI that I might as well just do it myself…
