Management practice - Set deadline for every task

No matter which development methodology is using, whether it is Scrum or Kanban, it's a good idea to set a date on which a task should be finished. For Scrum, within a sprint, 2 weeks or 3 weeks, certain PBIs/stories have to be completed. This can push or encourage developers to aim tasks for the deadline. Otherwise, developers may try to refactor and refactor for a better solution or test again and again. There's no perfect solution. Just set a date and let stories be closed on that date. Then start new tasks on next cycle.

Another advantage is to provide a product road map for product owner to foresee and expect certain features to be done on certain milestones.
