Under a process like this, of course we game it. We move the “immovable” definition of finished when no one is looking. We work extra hours.

But we do try to talk about our estimates so that we do a good job of finding tasks that fit the available timing more regularly.

Gotcha: “Alice and Bob, here's what's on your plate this week, next week we'll move things around if we want.” Do you try to mix up the pairs? Or let the pairs become buddy-cop partners?

The latter, mostly. We try to allocate time for mentor-pairing to unblock people who feel stuck conceptually, so there's some mixing up there. And sometimes people are out of the office (vacation, etc) so people mix up there too. But broadly pairs are longer term.
