    If you have to ask, perhaps you haven't been through one (yet). Death March does a pretty good job of describing the phenomena.

    Essentially a death march is what happens when a team facing tight (and sadly usually artificial) deadlines attempts to solve the lack of calendar days by putting in more time per day. Things go downhill from there...
